The telescopic forklift would usually have a prolonged lift that uses a crane or arm to come over top of a truck. This kind of forklift would allow you to lift cargo higher and with better control. 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 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 are able to provide both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common in the construction and agricultural businesses. Furthermore, they are a great choice in circumstances where you should work with something that 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 in order to move the angle of the frame from side to side. This particular frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a tube filled with liquid which is curved and mounted in 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 a very handy apparatus that is used to make certain that the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough environments.
Steering
There are some units of telehandlers that provide rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of unit's provide 3 steering options which the operator can choose; crab, circle and front steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machine will react to the steering wheel's movement.
