The telehandler is a construction vehicle that is engineered to raise heavy weights and materials. It is really considered to be a hybrid of the forklift and the crane when it comes to its size and capabilities. The boom is the telehandler's most important feature. It could be outfitted with various types of attachments so as to enable it to perform other jobs.
By using the right lifting angle and extension an operator can remain safe while doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is very vital to remember that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, 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, although it has traits of a forklift and a crane. The huge extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane because it is able to reach up to high locations. Because it is able to easily raise tools or heavy things, the telehandler also resembles a forklift. In addition, the arm looks like the end of a lift truck.
