A telescopic material handler, also called a telehandler, is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry.
Normally used by farmers, the rough terrain telescopic material handler is capable of travelling over off-road terrain and is widely used for moving materials and goods.
More versatile than a forklift truck due to its upwards and forwards reach ability, some machines are also fitted with stabilisers to increase their lifting capacity, however, without the right training they can be particularly dangerous in the workplace.
