Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift which utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks enable you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a traditional lift truck is unable to accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can offer both height and versatility. The telescopic lift truck is really common within the agricultural and construction businesses. Furthermore, they are a good choice in situations where you should work with something that needs more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
A unique feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators can activate the lateral controls to be able to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This frame could 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 frame tilt indicator or level 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 ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. The majority of models offer 3 steering options which the operator may choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for example, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
