Vertical-mast and rough-terrain forklifts keep lifting and positioning different building materials on various jobsites even through the rise and evolution of telehandlers on the market. There are many conventional-style forklifts available in the material handling market which lost market share to telehandlers.

Vertical-mast lift trucks have re-emerged and seem to be becoming more popular again thanks to their greater efficiency, lower cost and alteration of certain telehandler-like features.
