Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that uses an arm or a crane to come over the top of a truck. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to raise the cargo much higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The load when placed on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a traditional lift truck could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts could offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is really common in the agricultural and construction businesses. Moreover, they are a good choice in situations where you may need to work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to alter the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. 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 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 frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus that is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of models provide 3 steering options which the operator may select; front, crab and circle steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the equipment's front wheels would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
