Structure of a Telehandler with Extended Boom

A telehandler, short for telescopic handler, combines the capabilities of a forklift and a crane. Featuring a multi-stage telescopic boom that extends upward and outward, this specialized vehicle can reach heights and distances far beyond the range of standard loading equipment.

How Telescopic Arms Reach High Heights

Inside the main boom structure, nested steel boom sections extend sequentially using internal hydraulic cylinders and heavy chain drives. This reach allows construction crews to hoist palletized building supplies directly to upper building floors or elevated scaffold platforms.

  • Telescopic boom arm: Dark charcoal gray or metallic silver
  • Outrigger stabilizers: Steel gray or black
