Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to lift heavy weights and materials. These are considered mainly a forklift and crane hybrid when it comes to its capabilities and size. The boom is the most important feature on a telehandler. It can be equipped with different types of attachments so as to allow it to carry out other jobs.
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 really vital to remember that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machinery can dangerously tip over because of the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler more resembles a crane, though it has features of a crane and a forklift. The large extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane because it can reach up to high areas. Because it could easily lift heavy objects or equipment, the telehandler also resembles a lift truck. In addition, the arm looks similar to the end of a forklift.
