Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the top of a truck. These kinds of forklifts enable you to lift the cargo much higher and have great control of where it should go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a unique feature that a regular lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super common in the construction and agricultural businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you must work with something that requires more control that a regular forklift.
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 could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful device that is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator can select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels would react to the steering wheel's movement.
