The telescopic forklift will typically have a lengthened lift which utilizes an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This particular kind of forklift would allow 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 called a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, which is a unique feature which a regular forklift is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts could provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really popular within the agricultural and construction industries. Furthermore, they are a good choice in circumstances where you must work with something which needs 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 change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular 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 level indicator or frame tilt 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 a very handy apparatus that is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is provided on some telehandler models, that is similar to a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options that the operator may select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
