Telescopic booms more than any other kind of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These machinery are great for places which provide limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to identify the capacity of the machine.
Telescopic booms are very productive on the worksite as they offer the traction, speed and torque required to get the job completed. Even if the machinery are made really big to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain models allow the rough jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. In addition, some specialized units provide extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are multiple diesel engine alternatives available on the market also.
