Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to lift heavy weights and supplies. These are considered mainly a forklift and crane hybrid in terms of its capabilities and size. The boom is the most important feature on a telehandler. It can be outfitted with a variety of attachments so as to enable it to complete various other jobs.
By utilizing the correct lifting angle and extension an operator could remain safe while doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is very important to keep in mind that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machinery could tip over dangerously due to the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler more resembles a crane, though it has traits of a crane and a forklift. The big extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane since it is able to reach up to high areas. Because it can easily lift equipment or heavy objects, the telehandler also resembles a forklift. In addition, the arm looks like the end of a forklift.
