Greater horizontal outreach can be attained utilizing telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These kinds of equipment are ideal for locations that offer limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units offer working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to identify the machine's capacity.
Because they offer the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been very productive on the worksite. While the machinery are made really huge to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain models allow the rough jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Furthermore, some specialized units offer extendable axles that provide stability and retract for easy transportation. There are multiple diesel engine options offered on the market too.
