CAT Zoom Boom Arlington

The telescopic forklift will usually have a lengthened lift which uses an arm or crane to come over top of a truck. This type of forklift will allow you to raise cargo higher and with greater control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the cargo on the crane's end, that is called a telescopic boom.



The cargo when positioned on the lift truck could move both away from and towards the forklift cab, that is a unique feature which a traditional lift truck cannot accomplish. The telescopic forklifts are able to offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super popular within the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you should work with something that needs more control that a standard lift truck.



Frame Tilt

The frame tilt is a particular feature that is common to telehandlers. The operator is able to activate controls to alter the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. 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 within the cab. This is the level indicator or frame tilt indicator and works like a carpenter's level. It has a bubble indicator that indicates the frame's lateral angle relative to the ground. This is an extremely helpful apparatus that is utilized to ensure the frame is level prior to raising the boom in rough setting.



Steering

Rear wheel steering is offered on several telehandler models, that is similar to a vertical mast type model. The majority of models provide 3 steering options that the operator can choose; front, crab and circle steering. For example, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, only the front wheels of the machinery would react to the steering wheel's movement.
