The telescopic lift truck would typically have a lengthened lift that uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This type of forklift would allow you to lift loads higher and with better control. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab as well and this unique feature is something which regular lift trucks are unable to do. The telescopic forklifts could provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. In addition, they are a good choice in circumstances where you should work with something that requires more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to alter the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. This frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid which 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 an extremely helpful device that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are several models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator may choose; front, crab and circle steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine would react to the steering wheel's movement.
