The telescopic lift truck will normally have a lengthened lift that utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift will allow you to raise cargo higher and with greater control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something that regular lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really popular in the agricultural and construction businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something which requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the side to side or lateral 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 which is curved and mounted in 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a very helpful apparatus that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on several telehandler units, that is like a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options that the operator could select; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
