Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of forklifts enable you to raise the cargo much higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a unique feature which a traditional lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super common in the construction and agricultural businesses. In addition, they are a great choice in situations where you must work with something that needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter 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 tube filled with liquid that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus which is utilized to make sure that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator could choose; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
