Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of forklifts enable you to raise the cargo much higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This additional 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 can also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something that regular forklifts are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really popular in the agricultural and construction businesses. Additionally, they are a good choice in situations where you should work with something which requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to change the side to side or lateral 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 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 that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is utilized to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the equipment's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
