Used Manitou Zoom Boom Eugene

Telehandlers in the past decade, is also known as variable reach rough terrain lift truck, has gained great fame within the material handling industry. With good reason, these specific machines have become the gem of the construction industry. These equipment are practical, versatile and extremely powerful. Since the number of units and manufacturers has exploded over the past 5 years or so, there are currently a number of these machines readily available on the market.

In technical terms, a telehandler is considered to be an ITA* Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. This description means it is a rough terrain lift truck, but just in name only. Any of the similarities between a vertical mast type of forklift and a telehandler literally ends on operation and on sight. There are several other major differences between the two equipment discussed below.

A telehandler has an entirely different look because it is outfitted with a horizontal boom as opposed to a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment can look more like a mobile crane rather than a forklift. The boom could extend and retract or telescope as long as 30 feet and beyond which depends on the particular model. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to around 70 degrees. Telehandlers have been called "zoom booms" due to their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.

"Transaction" is another optional boom related function. Telehandlers which are equipped with this option have a boom which is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator activates it, the whole boom to travel back and forward, particularly for distances up to eight feet or so. Among the major advantages of this function is that it enables the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks can be inserted under cleanly, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have changed the construction industry. They can perform many kinds of tasks that used to take much more man-power and time to do.
