Caterpillar Telehandler Forklifts Tucson

Telescopic handlers are a bit like forklifts. It has a single telescopic boom which extends upwards and forwards from the truck, and a counterweight located in the rear. It functions much more like a crane than a forklift. The boom can be outfitted with a variety of attachments. The most popular attachment is pallet forks, but the operator could also attach a muck grab, lift table or bucket. Also called a telehandler, this particular type of machinery is normally used in agriculture and industry.



A telehandler is often utilized to transport loads to and from areas which would be hard for a standard forklift to access. Telehandlers are frequently used to unload pallets from in a trailer. They are also more handy than a crane for carrying loads onto rooftops and other high places.



There is only one major limitation in utilizing telehandlers. Even with rear counterweights, the weight-bearing boom could cause the vehicle to destabilize when it extends. Hence, the lifting capacity lessens when the distance between the front of the wheels and the centre of the load increases.



The Matbro company developed telehandlers within England. Their design was based mainly on articulated cross country forklifts used in forestry. Early models had a driver's cab on the back section and a centrally mounted boom on the front, but these days the most common design has a rigid chassis with a rear mounted boom and side cab.
