A telescopic truck, commonly known as a telehandler or telescopic handler, is a versatile and powerful material handling vehicle used in construction, agriculture, and various industrial applications. It is characterized by its telescoping boom, which can extend and retract to reach high or distant places, making it a highly adaptable piece of equipment.

The primary function of a telehandler is to lift, move, and position heavy loads, such as construction materials, equipment, or agricultural products. The telescopic boom allows operators to access areas that might be challenging to reach with traditional forklifts. Some telehandlers come equipped with a variety of attachments, such as forks, buckets, or winches, making them even more versatile for different tasks.
Telehandlers are valued for their ability to reach high places, load and unload materials, and manoeuvre on rough or uneven terrain. They are commonly used in construction sites for tasks like lifting and placing beams or materials, and in agriculture for handling hay bales or other farm-related tasks.
