Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of forklifts allow you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is known as a telescopic boom.
The load is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something that basic forklifts could not do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super common within the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are a good choice in circumstances where you may have to work with something which requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator could 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 that 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 that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy apparatus that is utilized to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator could choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
