Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These forklifts enable you to raise the cargo much higher and have great control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load is also able to move both towards and away from the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something that basic lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the agricultural and construction industries. Moreover, they are a great choice in situations where you must work with something that requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can 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 tube filled with liquid which 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 which is utilized to make certain that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
