telehandlers
Extendable boom loaders
Telehandlers are versatile construction vehicles combining features of a forklift and a crane.
A telescoping boom extends forward and upward, allowing operators to lift and place materials at heights and distances a standard forklift cannot reach.
Common on construction sites, farms, and warehouses: The telehandler moved pallets of roofing material onto the second-story scaffolding.
Also called telescopic handlers or reach forklifts.
