Telescopic Forklift Features
A kind of vehicle that is enclosed with a protective covering and has big windows is called a telescopic forklift. The huge wheels are suitable for off-road travel. The forklift is intended to easily maneuver through a work location. An extendable boom is mounted to the back of the forklift. There are a lot of choices for accessories to attach to the tip of the boom. For instance, the forklift can be equipped with a bucket or a fork attachment. There are lots of forklift manufacturers these days. The industry leaders are Hyster, Caterpillar, Komatsu and Bobcat. These companies all manufacture high quality forklifts for industrial use.
Weight Capacity
Choosing the right telescopic forklift for the intended application needs some consideration of your company's particular lifting requirements. Before purchasing a telescopic forklift, determine your largest lifting weight requirements, and after that choose a forklift which can lift more than that. If the telescopic forklift is too small to handle the maximum loads of the company, a tip over could result.
Tires
If your company is considering the purchase of second-hand machines, be sure that it is well maintained. Check the treads on the tires of the telescopic forklift. If the tires are worn, they will need to be replaced in order to prevent accidents caused by the forklift turning over and slipping.
