JCB Zoom Boom San Jose

Raw Materials

The telescoping boom rough terrain forklift's cab, body, frame and boom are usually produced by a forklift maker. Steel is the most common materials utilized to make these as they have amazing strength. Sometimes aluminum or steel forgings are used also. It is common for non-metallic materials like for example nylon plastic blocks to be used as guides within the boom assembly. The other components are typically purchased as finished products and the lift truck manufacturer installs them.



Some of the pre-assembled purchased products include the seat, transmission, axles, engine, tires, wheels and hoses, backup-alarm, lights, hydraulic cylinders and gauges. Usually, certain materials such as the lubricants and hydraulic fluid and fuel are bought in bulk. These liquids are added as needed when the equipment is assembled and has passed the meticulous testing sessions.



Design

The common design that is most standard of telescoping boom rough terrain forklifts is a narrow and long design that has a set of wheels at the front of the unit and another set situated towards the back of the machine. The boom part of the model is mounted at the back of the forklift off of a pivot feature that is elevated several feet above the frame's level. Normally, the cab is mounted on the left-hand side of the frame structure. Typically, the bottom half of the cab is low and situated between the tires. The fuel tank and the hydraulic fuel tank are mounted opposite the cab on the right-hand side. Along the vehicle's center-line, the engine and the transmission are mounted within the frame.



Different manufacturers have contributed their own unique designs beyond this basic configuration. Now, there are numerous options offered on the market. Some models of forklifts utilize a single hydraulic cylinder to be able to raise the boom, and other units utilize 2 cylinders. Some models utilize a side-to-side hydraulic frame leveling capability. This particular feature allows the frame to tilt up to 10 degrees relative to the axles in order to enable the machine to compensate for extreme axle articulation. This is used for example, when the tires on one side of the forklift are situated down in a rut and the tires on the other side of the machine are up, located on a mound of dirt.



One more popular design feature comprises fork attachments which are capable of swinging up to 45 degrees both left and right, in order to enable accurate load placement.
