Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses an arm or a crane to come over the top of a truck. These forklifts allow you to raise the load a lot higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something which basic forklifts could not do. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really popular in the agricultural and construction businesses. Furthermore, they are a good choice in circumstances where you should work with something that needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to alter 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 liquid filled tube which 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 that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy apparatus which is utilized to make sure that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler models, that is similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
