The telehandler is a construction vehicle that is engineered to raise heavy weights and materials. It is basically considered to be a hybrid of the forklift and the crane in terms of its size and capabilities. The boom is the telehandler's most important feature. It can be equipped with a variety of attachments in order to allow it to perform other tasks.
An operator could be safe while doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight by utilizing the correct lifting angle and extension. It is important to remember that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machine could dangerously tip over due to the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler looks more like a crane, though it has traits of a forklift and a crane. The big extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane since it is able to reach up to high locations. As it is able to easily lift tools or heavy things, the telehandler also performs like a forklift. Additionally, the arm looks like the end of a forklift.
