Manitou Zoom Boom Corpus Christi

Telehandlers in the last ten years, is also referred to as variable reach rough terrain lift truck, has gained great fame in the material handling business. With good reason, these particular machinery have become the gem of the construction business. These equipment are practical, versatile and really strong. As some models and manufacturers has exploded during the past 5 years or so, there are now a number of these machines readily offered on the market.



The Telehandler is considered a Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. Just in name, this description means it is a rough terrain forklift. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on sight and on operation. There are some other major differences between the two machinery discussed below.



Compared to a vertical mast, a telehandler has an entirely different appearance since it is made with a horizontal boom. A telehandler with a jib attachment from a distance could resemble more of a crane rather than a lift truck. The boom is able to telescope or retract and extend as long as 30 feet and beyond depending on the specific unit. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to roughly 70 degrees. Telehandlers have been referred to as "zoom booms" due to their ability to telescope. This name has become rather popular with the operators.



One more optional boom related function is called a "Transaction". The telehandler outfitted with this option mounted on the chassis. When the operator starts it, the boom will move back and forward for distances up to 8 feet or more. Amongst the main benefits of this function is that it enables the forks to be withdrawn from a load with no snags or cleanly and the forks could be cleanly inserted underneath, regardless of the boom angle.



The construction business have been changed by zoom booms. They are able to perform many tasks that used to take much more man-power and time to finish.
