Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These forklifts enable you to lift the load much higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the forklift could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a regular lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super common within the agricultural and construction businesses. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in situations where you might have to work with something that requires more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could 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 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 helpful apparatus that is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler units, that is similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels would react to the steering wheel's movement.
