The telescopic lift truck will typically have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular style of forklift will enable you to raise loads higher and with greater control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a unique feature that a traditional forklift could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts could provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is super popular in the construction and agricultural industries. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in situations where you might have to work with something that requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid that 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 which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very helpful apparatus which is utilized to make sure that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler models, that is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator may select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine would react to the steering wheel's movement.
