JCB Zoom Boom San Diego

Raw Materials

The body, cab, boom and frame of a telescoping boom rough terrain forklift are usually manufactured by a lift truck manufacturer. The most popular material used for these subassemblies is steel, because of its tremendous strength. At times aluminum or steel forgings are utilized too. It is common for non-metallic materials like for example nylon plastic blocks to be utilized as guides within the boom assembly. The other parts are typically purchased as finished products and the lift truck maker installs them.



Pre-assembled purchased products can comprise some of the following: transmission, seat, engine, axles, tires, wheels and hoses, backup-alarm, lights, gauges and hydraulic cylinders. Usually, some materials like the hydraulic fluid and fuel and lubricants are purchased in bulk. These liquids are added as required when the machinery is assembled and has passed the meticulous testing sessions.



Design

The long and narrow design of the telescoping boom rough terrain forklift is most common, with a set of wheels at the front of the model and another set located towards the rear of the machinery. The boom part of the model is mounted at the forklift's rear off of a pivot feature which is raised several feet above the frame's level. Generally, the cab is mounted on the left-hand side of the frame structure. Usually, the cab's bottom half is low and situated between the tires. The hydraulic fuel tank and the fuel tank are mounted opposite the cab on the right-hand side. Along the vehicle's center-line, the engine and the transmission are mounted in the frame.



Various manufacturers have contributed their own unique designs beyond this basic configuration. Now, there are numerous options offered on the market. Certain models of forklifts use a single hydraulic cylinder to be able to raise the boom, and other units make use of 2 cylinders. Several units use a side-to-side hydraulic frame leveling capability. This feature enables the frame to tilt up to 10 degrees relative to the axles so as to enable the machine to compensate for extreme axle articulation. For example, this is used when the tires on one side of the forklift are located down in a rut and the tires on the other side of the equipment are up, situated on a mound of dirt.



Fork attachments are one more popular design feature capable of swinging both left and right up to 45 degrees, that increases the accurate load placement.
