The telescopic lift truck will normally have a prolonged lift that utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift would enable you to raise cargo higher and with greater control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a different feature which a regular forklift cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common in the agricultural and construction businesses. Moreover, they are a great choice in situations where you must work with something that needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular 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 can 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 similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a really helpful apparatus that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler units, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
