Greater horizontal outreach can be attained utilizing telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These kinds of equipment are ideal for places that provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to identify the equipment's capacity.
Telescopic booms are very productive on the worksite since they offer the traction, speed and torque required to get the job done. Even if the machines are built big enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined areas. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain models allow the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Furthermore, some specialized models offer extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are various diesel engine choices offered on the market too.
