Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to lift heavy weights and materials. These are considered mainly a crane and forklift hybrid in terms of its capabilities and size. The boom is the most prominent feature on a telehandler. It can be equipped with various types of attachments so as to enable it to carry out different other jobs.
An operator could remain safe while doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight by utilizing the correct lifting angle and extension. It is vital to remember that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the equipment can dangerously tip over due to the lifting weight being drastically cut.
The telehandler more resembles a crane in its visual manner, even though it has traits of both a crane and a forklift. The huge extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane as it can reach up to high places. Since it can easily lift equipment or heavy things, the telehandler also resembles a lift truck. Moreover, the arm looks similar to the end of a forklift.
