Telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These kinds of machines are great for locations that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom classification normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the equipment's capacity.
Since they provide the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job completed, telescopic booms have been extremely productive on the worksite. Although the equipment are made huge enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within tight areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Additionally, some particular models provide extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are various diesel engine alternatives available on the market also.
