The telescopic lift truck will normally have a lengthened lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would allow you to lift loads higher and with greater control. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a unique feature that a traditional forklift cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super popular in the construction and agricultural businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you may need to work with something which requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very helpful device which is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers which provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator could choose; front, crab and circle steering. Like for example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the steering wheel's movement.
