Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of forklifts allow you to raise the load a lot higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.
The cargo can also move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something which regular lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts can provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common within the construction and agricultural businesses. Moreover, they are a good choice in situations where you must work with something that requires more control that a regular forklift.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator can activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that 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 helpful device which is used to ensure the frame is level before raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. Most models provide 3 steering options which the operator could select; circle, front and crab steering. Like for instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
