The telescopic forklift will typically have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift will allow you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this different feature is something that basic forklifts cannot do. The telescopic forklifts can offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. Moreover, they are a good choice in circumstances where you should work with something that needs more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter 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 that is curved and mounted in 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is used to ensure the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. The majority of models offer 3 steering options which the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the equipment's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
