Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These lift trucks enable you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have great control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the lift truck can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature that a traditional forklift could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super popular in the agricultural and construction industries. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to change the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very handy apparatus which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler units, that is like a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator can choose; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine will react to the steering wheel's movement.
