Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been producing telehandlers. Their machinery have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This particular system provides a lot more precise placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer a large variety of optional attachments and these telehandlers can really help you complete your needs, while being safe and efficient at the worksite. When precision and accuracy are really vital, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you require.
The Future
To be able to make rough terrain forklifts as efficient as possible, numerous attachments have been engineered and made such as winches, booms, and rotating fork carriages, to allow the forklift to position materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms come with 2 different extendible arms and can reach up and over structures so as to position loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being designed and developed all the time and would be available in the future.
A lot of improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. Like for example, load-reach management devices could restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used to be able to determine the weight of the load. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
Once the load is being placed into position, the memory will compare the extension of the boom and the boom's angle with the safety limits. There is an essential lock-up device or a warning system that prevents the operator from over-reaching and possibly causing the boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
