Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks enable you to raise the load much higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load can also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this different feature is something that basic lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super popular within the construction and agricultural industries. Additionally, they are a great choice in circumstances where you should work with something which requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to change the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. This 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 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 a very handy apparatus that is utilized to make certain that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the steering wheel's movement.
