Used Manitou Zoom Boom Oakland

Over the last decade, telehandlers, also known as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have exceeded the popularity of powered mobile equipment. These equipment have become the gem of the construction business and with excellent reason. These equipment are versatile, very strong and practical. Because several manufacturers and units has exploded over the past 5 years or so, there are currently a number of these machinery readily offered on the market.

In technical terms, a telehandler is considered to be an ITA* Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. This description means it is a rough terrain forklift, but only in name only. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on operation and on sight. There are several other significant distinctions between the two equipment discussed below.

As apposed to a vertical mast, a telehandler has an entirely different appearance as it is designed with a horizontal boom. A telehandler with a jib attachment from a distance can resemble more of a crane rather than a forklift. The boom is able to extend and retract or telescope to lengths of 30 feet and beyond which depends on the particular unit. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to about 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.

"Transaction" is another optional boom related function. Telehandlers that are outfitted with this alternative have a boom that is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator activates it, the whole boom to travel back and forward, especially for distances up to eight feet or so. One of the key advantages of this function is that it allows the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks can be inserted under cleanly, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have changed the construction business. They are able to accomplish numerous tasks that used to take a lot more man-power and time to do.
