The telescopic forklift will normally have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular style of forklift will allow you to lift cargo higher and with greater control. This extra 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 cargo could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something that basic lift trucks are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the agricultural and construction businesses. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you must work with something which requires more control that a regular forklift.
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 which is curved and mounted within 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a very helpful apparatus that is used to make sure that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator can select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
