Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of forklifts allow you to raise the cargo much higher and have great control of where it goes at those heights. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the lift truck can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a unique feature which a traditional lift truck could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really popular within the construction and agricultural businesses. Additionally, they are a great choice in circumstances where you should work with something that requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to change the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube which is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt 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 a very handy device which is utilized to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler units, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of models provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
