The telescopic forklifts on the market provided by Manitou are among the most versatile equipment in the industry. These equipment each come standard with 4-wheel drive and are designed to be used in outdoor settings, and in rough terrain environments. The lift capacities vary from 35,000 pounds to 3000 lbs. The machines could lift heights ranging up to 70 feet on some units.
These telescopic lift trucks are outfitted with different steering modes available for 4-wheel steering and crab steering. Hydrostatic transmissions, frame leveling and outriggers are some of the other options available for these models. These machinery could also use a huge array of attachments like: rotating carriages, fixed carriages, truss jibs, buckets, grapples, and winches. There is a wide variety of telescopic forklifts on the market and thus, a number of various configurations. Be certain to do your research in order to select the best one for your specific use.
There are several specific things to always take into account when dismounting a lift truck. Like for example, when dismounting, never jump off of it and be sure to face the vehicle. Maintain a 3-point stance, that means to consistently have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the machinery. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes because proper protective shoes can certainly help to keep you safe. Do not wear loose clothes or dangling jewelry, because these things might become caught. Wear the correct type of clothing. Make sure the area surrounding the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid which can potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Last but not least, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
