The telescopic lift truck would typically have a lengthened lift that utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This particular style of forklift would allow you to lift cargo higher and with greater control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a unique feature which a traditional forklift is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really popular within the agricultural and construction businesses. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you may need to work with something that needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube which is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on several telehandler units, which is like a vertical mast type model. Most unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator could choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
