The telescopic forklift will usually have a lengthened lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This particular style of forklift will enable you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when positioned on the lift truck can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a traditional lift truck 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 industries. Moreover, they are a great choice in circumstances where you may have to work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular 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 particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted within 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 an extremely helpful device which is utilized to make certain that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator can choose; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
