The telescopic lift truck would typically have a lengthened lift that uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would enable you to raise cargo higher and with greater control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the lift truck can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a unique feature which a regular lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common in the construction and agricultural industries. In addition, they are a good choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to move the frame's angle from side to side. This particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube which is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very handy device which is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator may select; crab, circle and front steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
