The telescopic lift truck will typically have a lengthened lift which utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would enable you to raise loads higher and with greater control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a different feature that a regular lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is super popular in the construction and agricultural industries. Additionally, they are a great choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. 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 frame tilt indicator or level 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 apparatus which is utilized to make certain that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator can select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
