Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the top of a truck. These lift trucks enable you to lift the load 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 end of a crane, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, which is a unique feature which a traditional lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super common within the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls to move the frame's angle from side to side. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus which is used to make certain that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on several telehandler models, which is like a vertical mast type unit. The majority of models provide 3 steering options which the operator can choose; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
