Greater horizontal outreach can be acquired using telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform. These machinery are ideal for places which offer limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to know the capacity of the machine.
Because they provide the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been very productive on the worksite. Although the equipment are made really big to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in tight areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Additionally, some specialized units provide extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are many diesel engine choices available on the market as well.
