The telescopic lift truck would normally have a lengthened lift which uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This type of forklift will enable you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo is also able to move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that regular lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the agricultural and construction industries. In addition, they are a good choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to change the side to side or lateral 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 that 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 which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a really handy device which is utilized to make certain that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on several telehandler units, that is like a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options that the operator can select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
