Telehandler, he's using LULL as the pet name for the tool in general, kinda like most people say Bush Hog even if it's a land pride lol!

Like this....

 

What sets a Lull apart from most of the other lift and place telescoping boom forklifts is their traversing boom assembly.
Here's my 10K # capacity, 54 footer. I think the machine weighs in the neighborhood of 35K #:


They are available with several different engines. Mine has a 6 cyl naturally aspirated JD diesel. Hydraulics are pilot controlled with no electronics involved. They have a very precise feel that isn't much affected by how much weight they're bearing.
Here's a shot of the machine with the boom all the way up:


Even though it looks pretty mech the same as any other forklift at this point, there's another lever in a Lull that lets you hydraulically travers the entire boom assembly forward 7 feet without having to do the extend boom, lower boom, extend boom, lower routing to get your load exactly where it needs to be.
Pettibone lifts also have a traversing boom that is just enough different to get around Lull's patent.

I knew a guy who had an Ingersoll Rand and had a lot of electronics problems-it was only available to use about 1/2 the time. I have a New Holland LM850, it seems pretty solid but I'm not a big fan of the Perkins motor.

Some Gradall's are rear wheel steer only, maybe OK on a jobsite but not so handy around a farm.

Lulls seem to be fine, Manitou's have a good rep(some Gehl's are Manitous but not all). You see more than a few JCB's around here.

Like most things, the brand with good dealer support will have an edge. 

Aw man! That one right there is ideal, the price is right too. Looks straight and pretty darn clean. That one has the exact same setup of the one I use except no outriggers. Same controls (like was said, all made by JLG) and they are very easy to get used to using. I think you nailed it with that find and like you said, not far away.
