Manitou Zoom Boom Tucson

Telehandlers in the last decade, is also referred to as variable reach rough terrain lift truck, has gained great fame in the material handling business. With excellent reason, these particular equipment have become the gem of the construction industry. These machinery are useful, versatile and really strong. Since the number of manufacturers and models has exploded during the last 5 years or so, there are now a few of these machinery readily available on the market.



The Telehandler is considered a Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. In name only, this description means it is a rough terrain forklift. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on operation and on sight. There are several other significant differences between the two equipment discussed below.



As apposed to a vertical mast, a telehandler has an entirely different appearance because it is designed with a horizontal boom. A telehandler with a jib attachment from a distance could resemble more of a crane rather than a forklift. The boom is able to telescope or extend and retract to lengths of 30 feet and beyond depending on the particular model. The boom is also able to elevate to an angle from horizontal to roughly 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather popular with the operators.



"Transaction" is a different optional boom related function. Telehandlers that are equipped with this option have a boom which is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator activates it, the entire boom to travel forward and back, especially for distances up to eight feet or so. Amongst the major advantages of this function is that it allows the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks could be cleanly inserted underneath, regardless of the boom angle.



The construction industry have been revolutionized by zoom booms. They are able to accomplish numerous types of tasks which used to take much more man-power and time to finish.
