A telescopic handler, also called a telehandler, teleporter, reach forklift or boom lift, is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry. It is  somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (Telescopic Cylinder), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single  telescopic or articulating boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. On the end of the boom the operator can fit one of several attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or winch. Telehandlers are sometimes called cherry pickers in North America, as that name  can refer to any truck or heavy equipment that has such a boom.
