Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the top of a truck. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to lift the cargo a lot 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 crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load can also move both towards and away from the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something which basic forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really popular within the construction and agricultural industries. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter 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 that 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a really helpful apparatus which is utilized to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler units, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator may select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
