Telescopic forklifts are designed to have a pronged lift that uses a crane or an arm to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to raise the cargo a lot higher and have better control of where it should go at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, which is known as a telescopic boom.
The load when positioned on the forklift can move both towards and away from the forklift cab, which is a different feature which a traditional forklift could not accomplish. The telescopic forklifts can provide both height and versatility. The telescopic forklift is really common in the agricultural and construction businesses. In addition, they are an excellent choice in circumstances where you should work with something which needs more control that a standard forklift.
Frame Tilt
A particular feature common to telehandlers is the frame tilt. Operators could activate the lateral controls to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This particular frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid 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 that is used to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some models of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type unit. Most unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can select; front, crab and circle steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
