The telescopic lift truck would usually have a lengthened lift that utilizes a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This style of forklift would enable you to raise loads higher and with better control. This additional control is due to 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, which is a different feature that a regular forklift is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. In addition, they are an excellent choice in situations where you must work with something which needs more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular frame can 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 similar to a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy device which is used to make certain that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
Rear wheel steering is offered on some telehandler units, that is similar to a vertical mast type unit. The majority of models provide 3 steering options that the operator can select; circle, front and crab steering. For instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the steering wheel's movement.
