The telescopic forklift would usually have a prolonged lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift will allow you to raise cargo higher and with better control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the forklift can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, which is a different feature that a regular lift truck could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super popular in the construction and agricultural businesses. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls in order to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This particular frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful device that is utilized to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can choose; crab, circle and front steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the equipment's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
