Telescopic lift trucks
Telescopic lift trucks offer versatility and height. These models are equipped with a pronged lift on an arm that extends over the top of the truck. The crane, or arm, is called a telescopic boom. The boom allows the individual utilizing it to raise the cargo to great heights while maintaining a high degree of control. Standard forklifts aren't able to move the cargo towards and away from the cab of the forklift, whereas a telescopic forklift can allow that movement. The telescopic forklift is usually utilized in construction and agriculture. It is better for applications where greater lift and control is required.
In cases requiring high volume carton handling, hydraulic attachments known as forklift carton clamp attachments are better. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings that enable the operator to apply uniform clamping force when lifting a cargo. It comes with a backrest which protects the loads from damage.
A sleep sheet forklift would usually utilize a slip sheet attachment for storing systems which don't utilize pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forklift forks. This type of system is useful for overseas shipments and intra-corporate deliveries.
A lift platform that is designed to lift personnel is referred to as a Man Basket. It attaches to the forks on the forklift and a strap or chain is utilized to attach the basket to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the workers from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are used for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
