Abstract
A material handling apparatus for mounting on a support structure. The material handling apparatus comprises a telescopic riser portion coupled to the support structure. A telescopic boom portion is coupled to the riser portion. A telescopic jib portion is coupled to the riser portion. A hook is coupled to the jib portion. A control apparatus is coupled to each of the riser, boom, and jib portions. Wherein, each of the telescopic portions can be independently, selectively moved in a push-pull mode to manipulate material.
