CAT Zoom Boom San Jose

The telescopic lift truck will typically 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 loads higher and with better control. This extra control is due to the fact that you are moving the load on the end of a crane, that is called a telescopic boom.



The load is also able to move both towards and away from the forklift cab too and this unique feature is something which basic forklifts cannot do. The telescopic forklifts can offer both versatility and height. The telescopic lift truck is super popular in the agricultural and construction industries. Additionally, they are an excellent choice in situations where you might have to work with something that requires more control that a regular forklift.



Frame Tilt

The frame tilt is a particular feature which is common to telehandlers. The operator could activate controls to change the lateral or side to side angle of the frame. This particular frame could be moved 10 to 15 degrees in either direction from horizontal. There is a liquid filled tube that 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 which indicates the lateral angle of the frame relative to the ground. This is an extremely handy apparatus which is used to make sure that the frame is level before elevating the boom in rough environments.



Steering

There are several units of telehandlers that offer rear wheel steering, similar to a vertical mast type unit. Most models provide 3 steering options that the operator may choose; crab, circle and front steering. For instance, if the operator chooses the "front" steering option, just the front wheels of the machinery would react to the steering wheel's movement.
