Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that utilizes a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These lift trucks allow you to lift the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when positioned on the lift truck could move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a unique feature that a traditional lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is super common within the construction and agricultural industries. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which requires more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. 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 within 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 lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can choose; front, crab and circle steering. For instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the machine's front wheels will react to the steering wheel's movement.
