Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the top of a truck. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to raise the load a lot 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 crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this different feature is something which regular forklifts cannot do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really popular in the construction and agricultural industries. Moreover, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something that needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. 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 similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, which is similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of models offer 3 steering options which the operator could select; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels would react to the steering wheel's movement.
