Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These lift trucks allow you to lift the load a lot higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is known as a telescopic boom.
The load could also move both towards and away from the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something that basic lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super popular within the construction and agricultural industries. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in situations where you should work with something which requires more control that a regular lift truck.
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 frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level indicator and works like 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 utilized to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, which is similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
