The telescopic lift truck would normally have a prolonged lift that uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This type of forklift would enable you to lift loads higher and with greater control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the forklift can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature that a regular lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super common in the construction and agricultural businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you might need to work with something that needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid which is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy apparatus which is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. Most unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator may select; front, crab and circle steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
