The telescopic lift truck will usually have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This particular kind of forklift would enable you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which 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 forklift is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really popular within the construction and agricultural industries. In addition, they are an excellent choice in situations where you should work with something that needs more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular 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 could 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 that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus that is used to make sure that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. Most models offer 3 steering options that the operator could select; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels would react to the steering wheel's movement.
