The Carriage
The carriage is similar to a traditional lift truck because the lifting attachment could be tilted forwards and backwards from its horizontal. The tilt that is possible on this equipment exceeds more than that of the vertical masts. There is a huge variety of available lifting attachments, and this positioning ability makes them as efficient as possible.
The majority of telehandlers have the capability of tilting to a position that is actually parallel to the ground. Some units have rotating carriages also. This allows the operator to adjust the lifting attachment radially. This translates to the load being able of being tilted backwards and forwards, and side to side.
Load Capacity
Telehandlers have a load capacity quite similar to that of the vertical mast unit. The model's overall capacity would be dependent on things like: the amount of boom transaction deployed, if this is applicable and boom angle and extension, whether the unit is lifting on outriggers or on rubber tires. Also, which lifting attachment plays a very main part, as does the wind, the grade the equipment is operating on and so on. All of these specifics could be changing regularly and this gives the operator a lot more information to consider.
Telehandlers would usually have some different load charts available to them, giving them a good reference they can use to know a particular lift's load capacity. Depending upon the model in particular and the configuration of the boom, the load capacity may vary by thousands of pounds all together.
