The telescopic forklift will normally have a prolonged lift which uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would allow you to lift cargo higher and with better control. This additional control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, which is called a telescopic boom.
The load is also able to move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something which basic lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts could offer both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super common in the construction and agricultural industries. In addition, they are a good choice in situations where you might have to work with something which needs more control that a regular lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to change 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 liquid filled tube 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 which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is a very helpful apparatus which is utilized to make sure that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. Most unit's provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the machine's front wheels will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
