The telescopic lift truck will usually have a prolonged lift that uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular kind of forklift will allow you to lift loads higher and with greater control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, which is a unique feature which a regular forklift could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the construction and agricultural businesses. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you may have to work with something that requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could 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 tube filled with liquid which 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 that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful device which is used to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator may select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine will react to the steering wheel's movement.
