Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to lift the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when positioned on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a unique feature that a traditional lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common within the construction and agricultural industries. Additionally, they are a good choice in circumstances where you might have to work with something that needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid which is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a very handy device which is utilized to make certain that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options that the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
