This kind of forklift has been designed with a telescoping arm for transporting and lifting pallets and other supplies. These machines are great for lifting things to upper floors during construction projects. They are also indispensable in big warehouse environment for accessing shelves which are extremely high. The telescoping arm is usually powered by hydraulics. Smaller, vertical forklifts can't reach the heights attainable by the telehandler forklift, that is what makes the telehandler very useful. The telehandler forklift varies from various types of forklift in other ways; like for example, the telehandler models have pneumatic tires instead of solid rubber tires. Telehandler forklifts are similar in some respects to cranes, except that the telehandler cannot move its boom in various directions.

The forklift attachment on the telehandler enables the operator to load and unload pallets of stuff from the road or a truck, and moved to a higher surface like upper floors of a building. The telescoping arm offers great versatility compared to a standard forklift. The telehandler is normally capable of moving upward and downward, as well as backward and forward. The telehandler forklift can be equipped with various attachments.

The telescoping feature has inherent dangers because of stability problems if the load telescopes very far. That is why a lot of models are equipped together with outriggers that extend from the front of the vehicle to help with stability. Several models come together with sensors which will shut down the power to the telescoping boom when the vehicle becomes unstable. It is important for telehandler forklift operators to understand how to calculate whether load weight could be safely lifted to a given height. Manufacturer charts are used for this purpose. The forklift size determines the weight of the loads it can haul and the height at which it could operate. To be able to prevent machine and personal injury, operators must be trained properly in accident prevention.
