Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks enable you to raise the load much higher and have great control of where it must go at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo can also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something which basic lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is super common within the construction and agricultural businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
A particular 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 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 level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very helpful apparatus which is used to make sure that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is similar to a vertical mast type model. Most models offer 3 steering options that the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels would react to the steering wheel's movement.
