The Carriage
Like conventional forklifts, the lifting attachment could be tilted from its horizontal position to backwards and forwards. The actual possible amount of tilt totally exceeds that of vertical mast lift trucks. There is a huge range of available lifting attachments, and this ability to position makes them as effective as possible.
Nearly all telehandlers can tilt forward to a point where the carriage is actually parallel with the ground believe it or not! Furthermore, numerous models offer rotating carriages as well. This enables the operator to adjust the lifting attachment radially. This translates to the load being capable of being tilted forwards and backwards, and side to side.
Load Capacity
Telehandlers have a load capacity rather similar to that of the vertical mast unit. The unit's overall capacity will be dependent on things like: boom extension and angle, whether the unit is lifting on rubber tires or on outriggers, and the amount of boom transaction deployed, if this is applicable. As well, which lifting attachment plays a very important part, as does the wind, the grade the equipment is operating on and so on. All of these specifics could be changing on a regular basis and this gives the operator much more information to consider.
Normally, telehandlers have some load charts available in order for the operator to reference so they could know the load capacity of a certain lift. Depending upon the boom's configuration and the model in particular, the load capacity may vary by thousands of pounds all together.
