Telescopic forklifts are engineered to have a pronged lift that utilizes an arm or a crane to come over the truck's top. These kinds of lift trucks allow you to raise the cargo much higher and have better control of where it must go at those heights. This additional control is because of the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is referred to as a telescopic boom.
The cargo could also move both away from and towards the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something that regular lift trucks could not do. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both versatility and height. The telescopic forklift is really common in the agricultural and construction industries. In addition, they are a great choice in situations where you might need to work with something which requires more control that a standard lift truck.
Frame Tilt
The frame tilt is a unique feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to alter the side to side or lateral angle of the frame. This frame can be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that is curved and mounted in the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt 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 a very handy device which is used to make sure that the frame is level prior to elevating the boom in rough setting.
Steering
There are several units of telehandlers which provide rear wheel steering, like a vertical mast type model. Most unit's offer 3 steering options which the operator can choose; circle, front and crab steering. Like for example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machinery will react to the movement of the steering wheel.
