Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These lift trucks allow you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it goes at those heights. This extra control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the crane's end, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The cargo when placed on the forklift can move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a different feature which a traditional lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is super common within the construction and agricultural businesses. Additionally, they are a good choice in situations where you may have to work with something which 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 can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid that is curved and mounted within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like 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 that is used to make sure that the frame is level before raising the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers which provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options that the operator could select; crab, circle and front steering. For instance, if the operator selects the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine would react to the movement of the steering wheel.
