The telescopic forklift will usually have a prolonged lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift would allow you to lift loads higher and with better control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a unique feature that a regular forklift is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super popular in the construction and agricultural industries. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame could 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a very handy apparatus which is used to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler units, that is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator may select; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
