Used Manitou Zoom Boom Scottsdale

In the last ten years, telehandlers, also referred to as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have surpassed the reputation of motorized mobile machines. These machines have become the gem of the construction industry and with excellent reason. These machinery are versatile, extremely powerful and useful. Since the number of manufacturers and units has exploded during the last 5 years or so, there are currently a few of these machines readily offered on the market.

In technical terms, a telehandler is considered to be an ITA* Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. This description means it is a rough terrain forklift, but just in name only. Any of the similarities between a vertical mast type of forklift and a telehandler literally ends on sight and on operation. There are several other significant differences between the two machines discussed below.

A telehandler has an entirely different appearance since it is equipped with a horizontal boom as opposed to a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment can resemble more of a mobile crane rather than a lift truck. The boom could extend and retract or telescope as long as 30 feet and beyond that depends on the particular model. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to roughly 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" due to their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.

"Transaction" is a different optional boom related function. Telehandlers that are equipped with this alternative have a boom which is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator activates it, the entire boom to travel back and forward, specifically for distances up to eight feet or so. Amongst the main benefits of this function is that it enables the forks to be cleanly withdrawn from a load and the forks can be cleanly inserted under, regardless of the boom angle.

The construction industry have been changed by zoom booms. They are able to perform many tasks which used to take much more time and man-power to complete.
