The telescopic handler or just telehandler is a heavy duty equipment which is well-known within both the construction and agriculture industries. These equipment are quite similar in both function and appearance to the forklift, except it more closely resembles a crane. The telehandler offers increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that could extend forwards as well as upwards from the vehicle. The operator has the ability to connect a lot of attachments on the boom's end. Several of the most popular attachments consist of: a muck grab, a bucket, a lift table or pallet forks.
In order to move cargo through locations which are normally not reachable for a conventional forklift. The telehandler utilizes pallet forks as their most popular attachment. Like for example, telehandlers are able to transport cargo to and from areas which are not typically accessible by regular forklift models. These devices can also remove palletized cargo from in a trailer and position these loads in high areas, like on rooftops for instance. Before, this aforementioned situation would require a crane. Cranes could be really expensive to use and not always a practical or time-efficient alternative.
Telehandler's are unique in that their advantage is also their largest drawback: because the boom raises or extends when the equipment is bearing a load, it also acts as a lever and causes the vehicle to become somewhat unbalanced, despite the rear counterweights. This translates to the lifting capacity decreasing quickly as the working radius increases. The working radius is the distance between the center of the load and the front of the wheels.
When it is fully extended with a low boom angle for example, the telehandler will only have a 400 pound weight capacity, while a retracted boom can support weights as much as five thousand pounds. The same model with a 5000 pound lift capacity which has the boom retracted may be able to easily support as heavy as 10,000 lb. with the boom raised up to seventy.
England first pioneered the telehandler in Horley, Surrey. The Matbro Company developed these machines from their articulated cross country forestry forklifts. At first, they had a centrally mounted boom design on the front section. This placed the cab of the driver on the rear part of the equipment, as in the Teleram 40 model. The rigid chassis design with the cab situated on the side and a rear mounted boom has ever since become more famous.
Side shifter: A kind of attachment which allows an operator to position the attachment arm laterally for more efficient load placement is called a side shifter.
Forklift fork Positioner: The positioner is a hydraulic attachment which helps position the forks either simultaneously or separately, according to the size of the loads. It relieves operators of lift trucks from having to manually adjust the forks.
Pole Attachments: Pole attachments are utilized to lift carpet rolls.
Telescopic forklift forks: Attachments that allow the operator load or unload vehicles from one side are known as Telescopic forklift forks. They permit the handling of two differently-sized pallets at the same time and are handy for double-deep racking.
Forklift carton clamp attachments: Through the application of uniform clamping force, these hydraulic attachments make high-volume carton handling easier. They are outfitted with arm pads lined with four-way reversible rubber. A backrest to the loads helps prevent damage to the loads.
Slip sheet attachment: An alternative to the pallet systems is the slip sheet attachment. This hydraulic transport and storing system clamps onto the slip sheet in order to draw it onto a wide and thin metal fork. Handy for intra-corporate deliveries and for shipping overseas.
Man Basket: A platform which could slide onto forklift forks is called a man basket. It is intended to raise employees. Safety features include brackets utilized for attaching safety harnesses and railings to be able to avoid falls.
