Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift which utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These forklifts allow you to lift the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The load can also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this different feature is something which basic forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is super common within the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which requires 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 be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube which is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type model. The majority of models provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; crab, circle and front steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the steering wheel's movement.
