Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the top of a truck. These lift trucks enable you to raise the load a lot higher and have great control of where it must go at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The cargo is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this different feature is something that regular forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really common in the agricultural and construction businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you may need to work with something that requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls in order to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This 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 level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a really helpful apparatus which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine will react to the steering wheel's movement.
