The telescopic lift truck would typically have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular kind of forklift will enable you to raise cargo higher and with better control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a different feature that a traditional forklift cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really popular within the agricultural and construction industries. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in situations where you may need to work with something that requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid which is curved and mounted in 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 which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of models provide 3 steering options which the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
