The telescopic forklift would typically have a lengthened lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This particular type of forklift will enable you to raise cargo higher and with greater control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load is also able to move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that regular lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts could provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really popular in the agricultural and construction industries. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you must work with something that needs more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to move the frame's angle from side to side. This particular 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 similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy apparatus which is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler units, that is similar to a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator can choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the equipment's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
