The telescopic lift truck would normally have a prolonged lift which utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This particular type of forklift will allow you to lift loads higher and with greater control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo could also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that regular forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really popular in the construction and agricultural industries. Additionally, they are a great choice in situations where you must work with something that needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls 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 which is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame 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
There are several units of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator may choose; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
