Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks enable you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have great control of where it goes at those heights. This extra 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 load is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that basic lift trucks are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super common within the agricultural and construction businesses. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you may have to work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that 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 lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a really handy apparatus which is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options which the operator may select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
