The telescopic lift truck will usually have a prolonged lift which uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular style of forklift will enable you to lift cargo higher and with greater control. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a traditional lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really common within the agricultural and construction businesses. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you must work with something which requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular frame could 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 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 which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options that the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
