Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to raise heavy weights and materials. These are considered basically a forklift and crane hybrid in terms of its capabilities and size. The boom is the most important feature on a telehandler. It is able to be outfitted with different types of attachments so as to enable it to complete various other tasks.
An operator can remain safe while doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight by using the right lifting angle and extension. It is important to remember that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the equipment can tip over dangerously because of the lifting weight being drastically cut.
The telehandler looks more like a crane in its visual manner, even though it has traits of both a forklift and a crane. The large extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane because it could reach up to high places. As it can easily lift tools or heavy items, the telehandler also resembles a lift truck. Moreover, the arm looks similar to the end of a lift truck.
