Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to raise heavy weights and supplies. These are considered basically a crane and forklift hybrid when it comes to its size and capabilities. The boom is the telehandler's most prominent feature. It can be outfitted with different kinds of attachments so as to allow it to perform other tasks.
By using the right lifting angle and extension an operator could remain safe whilst doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is very vital to keep in mind that if the arm is wrongly used by accident, the machine could tip over dangerously due to 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 locations. As it could easily raise tools or heavy items, the telehandler also performs like a forklift. Furthermore, the arm looks like the end of a forklift.
