Caterpillar Telehandler Forklifts San Diego

A telescopic handler is like a forklift. It possesses a single telescopic boom that extends both upwards and forwards from the truck, and a counterweight located within the rear. It works a lot 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 can also attach a bucket, muck grab or lift table. Also called a telehandler, this particular type of machinery is usually used in industry and agriculture.



A telehandler is most frequently used to transport loads to and from places that will be difficult for a standard forklift to access. Telehandlers are normally utilized to unload pallets from within a trailer. They are also more practical than a crane for carrying loads onto rooftops and other high locations.



There is just one major limitation in utilizing telehandlers. Despite counterweights at the back, the weight-bearing boom can cause the machine to destabilize as it extends. Therefore, the lifting capacity decreases as the distance between the center of the load and the front of the wheels increases.



Telehandlers were developed in England by the Matbro company. Their design was based on articulated cross country forklifts used in forestry. Early models had a driver's cab on the rear section and a centrally mounted boom on the front, but today the design which is most popular has a strong chassis together with a rear mounted boom and side cab.
