Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the top of a truck. These lift trucks allow you to lift the load a lot higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a different feature which a regular lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really common within the agricultural and construction industries. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to 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 liquid filled tube which is curved and mounted in 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 an extremely helpful apparatus that is utilized to make sure that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler units, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
