The telescopic forklift will normally have a prolonged lift which uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular type of forklift would enable you to lift loads higher and with better control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something which basic lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts can offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super popular in the agricultural and construction businesses. Moreover, they are a great choice in situations where you might need to work with something which requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls in order to move the frame's angle from side to side. 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 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 helpful device that is utilized to make sure that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator could choose; front, crab and circle steering. Like for example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
