The telescopic lift truck will usually have a lengthened lift which utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift will enable you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo is also able to move both towards and away from the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something which basic forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really popular in the construction and agricultural industries. Furthermore, they are a great choice in situations where you should work with something which requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that 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 tube filled with liquid which 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 before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type model. Most models offer 3 steering options that the operator could select; circle, front and crab steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machinery would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
