Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift which utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These forklifts enable you to raise the load a lot higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load could also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this different feature is something that basic lift trucks cannot do. The telescopic forklifts could provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super common in the construction and agricultural industries. Furthermore, they are a good choice in situations where you might have to work with something which requires more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the frame tilt indicator or level 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 an extremely handy apparatus which is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type unit. The majority of unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
