The telehandler is a construction vehicle which is designed to lift heavy weights and supplies. It is basically considered to be a hybrid of the forklift and the crane when it comes to its capabilities and size. The boom is the telehandler's most important feature. It is able to be outfitted with different types of attachments in order to allow it to perform different other tasks.
By using the correct lifting angle and extension an operator can 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 accidentally utilized wrong, the equipment can tip over dangerously due to the lifting weight being drastically cut.
The telehandler looks more like a crane in its visual manner, even if it has features of both a forklift and a crane. The huge extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane as it can reach up to high locations. Because it could easily raise heavy objects or tools, the telehandler also resembles a lift truck. In addition, the arm looks similar to the end of a lift truck.
