Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift which uses an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to lift the load much higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo can also move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something which regular lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts could provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are a good choice in circumstances where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator can 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 that is curved and mounted within 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 a very handy apparatus that is utilized to make sure that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most models offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
