Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles engineered to raise heavy weights and supplies. These are considered basically a forklift and crane hybrid when it comes to its capabilities and size. The boom is the most prominent feature on a telehandler. It is able to be equipped with a variety of attachments so as to allow it to perform other jobs.
An operator can remain safe whilst doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight by utilizing the correct lifting angle and extension. It is important to bear in mind that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machine could dangerously tip over because of the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler looks more like a crane, though it has features of a crane and a forklift. The large extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane as it can reach up to high places. As it can easily lift tools or heavy things, the telehandler also performs like a lift truck. As well, the arm looks like the end of a lift truck.
