Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the top of a truck. These kinds of lift trucks enable you to raise the load a lot higher and have great control of where it should go at those heights. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is known as a telescopic boom.
The load could also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that regular lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the construction and agricultural businesses. Moreover, they are a good choice in situations where you must work with something which requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to change the side to side or lateral 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 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 that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device which is used to make certain that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on several telehandler units, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator may select; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
