The telescopic forklift will normally have a lengthened lift that uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift would allow you to lift loads higher and with better control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The cargo can also move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this different feature is something that regular lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts can offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super common in the construction and agricultural industries. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you might need to work with something that requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid that 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 which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a really handy apparatus which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator may select; circle, front and crab steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the steering wheel's movement.
