What is the difference between a forklift and a telehandler?

The forks on a forklift can only lift loads up and down. Telehandlers, on the other hand, have booms which can be fitted with different attachments, and can lift loads forwards, backwards and side to side. Telehandlers can also move loads without moving their base, whereas forklifts must be driven forwards and backwards to move loads.
