The telescopic lift truck would usually have a lengthened lift which utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This type of forklift will enable you to raise cargo higher and with better control. This extra 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 load is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something which regular forklifts could not do. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. Furthermore, they are a great choice in situations where you may need to work with something that needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a really handy apparatus that is utilized to make certain that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
