Manitou Zoom Boom Salt Lake City

During the past decade, telehandlers, also referred to as rough terrain variable reach lift trucks, have exceeded the reputation of motorized mobile machinery. These machines have become the gem of the construction business and with good reason. These types of machines are versatile, extremely powerful and useful. Since some models and manufacturers has exploded over the last 5 years or so, there are presently a number of these machinery readily offered on the market.



In technical terms, a telehandler is considered to be an ITA* Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. This description means it is a rough terrain lift truck, but just in name only. Any of the similarities between a vertical mast type of forklift and a telehandler literally ends on sight and on operation. There are some other major differences between the two machines discussed below.



Compared to a vertical mast, a telehandler has a completely different look as it is made with a horizontal boom. A telehandler with a jib attachment from a distance can look more like a crane than a forklift. The boom can telescope or retract and extend to lengths of 30 feet and beyond depending on the particular model. The boom is also able to elevate to an angle from horizontal to roughly 70 degrees. Telehandlers have been called "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.



Another optional boom related function is called a "Transaction". The telehandler equipped with this alternative mounted on the chassis. When the operator starts it, the boom will move forward and back for distances up to 8 feet or more. Among the key benefits of this function is that it allows the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks could be cleanly inserted underneath, regardless of the boom angle.



The construction industry have been changed by zoom booms. They can perform many kinds of tasks which used to take a lot more time and man-power to finish.
