The telescopic lift truck will usually have a prolonged lift which utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would allow you to lift cargo higher and with greater control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load can also move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this different feature is something which regular forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is super popular in the construction and agricultural businesses. Additionally, they are a great choice in circumstances where you might have to work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A unique 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 particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level 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 an extremely handy apparatus which is utilized to make sure that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type model. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator may choose; front, crab and circle steering. Like 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.
