Greater horizontal outreach could be attained with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These machinery are excellent for locations which provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification typically includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to know the equipment's capacity.
Telescopic booms are really productive on the worksite because they provide the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job done. Though the equipment are made very large to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined spaces. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system provided by the rough-terrain units enable the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Additionally, several specialized units offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are multiple diesel engine alternatives available on the market also.
