Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These forklifts allow you to lift the cargo much 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 load on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when positioned on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, which is a different feature which a regular lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the construction and agricultural industries. In addition, they are a good choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid 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 which indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is a very handy device which is utilized to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler models, that is like a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery will react to the steering wheel's movement.
