Telescopic booms more than any other kind of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These kinds of machinery are great for places which offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These units provide working height up to 14.20 meters or 46 feet to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification usually includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to identify the equipment's capacity.
Because they offer the traction, speed and torque required to get the job done, telescopic booms have been extremely productive on the worksite. Although the machinery are made large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Moreover, several specialized units offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are various diesel engine choices available on the market too.
