Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been making telehandlers. Their equipment have been designed for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This particular system offers much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer different optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you complete all your needs, whilst being efficient and safe at the worksite. When both accuracy and precision are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to accomplish everything you require.
The Future
Many attachments have been designed and developed in order to make rough terrain forklifts as efficient as possible. Winches, booms and rotating fork carriages allow the forklift to position materials in a more accurate manner. The booms or articulating booms come with 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures in order to position loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being engineered and developed all the time and would be available in the future.
A lot of improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. Like for instance, load-reach management devices could restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled as opposed to relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used to be able to determine the weight of the load. This information is sent to a tiny electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The boom's memory would compare the angle and the extension of the boom with the safety limits, once the load is being placed into position. There is a warning system or an essential lock-up device which prevents the operator from over-reaching and possibly causing the boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
