A telehandler, or telescopic handler, is used to lift, move, and place heavy materials. Its telescoping boom allows it to reach forward and upward, making it ideal for placing pallets on scaffolding, lifting materials over obstacles, and general material handling on rough terrain construction sites.

A standard forklift has a vertical mast and can only lift loads up and down. A telehandler has a telescoping boom that can extend forward and upward, giving it significantly more reach and versatility. Telehandlers are also typically designed for rough terrain, unlike most warehouse forklifts.

Telehandlers are rated by their maximum lift capacity (e.g., 5,000 to 12,000 lbs) and maximum reach height (e.g., 19 to 56 feet). You must consult the machine's load chart, as the lifting capacity decreases as the boom is extended. Choose a machine that can safely handle your heaviest load at its furthest required placement point.

Yes. Due to their complexity and the risks involved, OSHA requires specific training and certification for all telehandler operators. This is more extensive than standard forklift training due to the variable reach and load dynamics.

The most common attachment is the standard fork carriage. Other available attachments include material buckets, grapple buckets, truss jibs, and personnel work platforms, making the machine extremely versatile.
