Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the top of a truck. These forklifts allow you to lift the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when positioned on the forklift could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a unique feature that a regular lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really popular within the construction and agricultural businesses. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you should 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 can activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular 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 which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is used to make certain that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type model. The majority of models offer 3 steering options that the operator can choose; crab, circle and front steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the equipment's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
