Caterpillar Telehandler Forklifts Arlington

A telescopic handler is like a forklift. It has one telescopic boom which extends both forwards and upwards from the truck, and a counterweight within the back. It functions 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 known as a telehandler, this kind of machinery is normally used in agriculture and industry.



When it is hard for a standard forklift to access areas, a telehandler is usually utilized to move loads. Telehandlers are frequently used to unload pallets from in a trailer. They are also more practical than a crane for lifting loads onto rooftops and other high locations.



The telehandler has one major limitation. Even with rear counterweights, the weight-bearing boom could cause the vehicle to destabilize as it extends. Hence, the lifting capacity decreases when the distance between the front of the wheels and the centre of the load increases.



Telehandlers were developed within England by the Matbro company. Their design was based on articulated cross country forklifts utilized in forestry. Initial models consisted of a centrally mounted boom on the front and a driver's cab on the rear section, but today the design that is most common has a rigid chassis with a rear mounted boom and side cab.
