The telehandler or telescopic handler is a heavy duty equipment that is well-known within both the agriculture and construction businesses. These machines are quite similar in both appearance and function to the forklift, except it more closely resembles a crane. The telehandler provides increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that could extend forwards as well as upwards from the vehicle. The operator has the ability to attach a lot of attachments on the boom's end. Some of the most popular attachments comprise: a muck grab, a bucket, pallet forks or a lift table.
In order to transport cargo through locations that are normally unreachable for a standard forklift. The telehandler utilizes pallet forks as their most popular attachment. Like for instance, telehandlers could transport cargo to and from locations that are not typically reachable by conventional forklift models. These devices also have the ability to remove palletized loads from in a trailer and place these loads in high locations, like on rooftops for instance. Before, this abovementioned situation will require a crane. Cranes can be really pricey to utilize and not always a time-efficient or practical alternative.
Telehandler's are unique in that their advantage is also their biggest drawback: as the boom extends or raises when the machinery is bearing a load, it also acts as a lever and causes the vehicle to become quite unstable, despite the counterweights on the back. 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.
Once it is completely extended with a low boom angle for instance, the telehandler would just have a 400 pound weight capacity, while a retracted boom could support weights up to 5000 pounds. The same unit with a 5000 pound lift capacity which has the boom retracted might be able to easily support as heavy as ten thousand pounds with the boom raised up to 70.
The Matbro Company in Horley, Surrey, England initially pioneered telehandlers. These equipment were developed 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 machine's rear part, like in the Teleram 40 unit. The rigid chassis design with the cab situated on the side and a rear mounted boom has since become increasingly more famous.
Side shifter: A kind of attachment which enables an operator to laterally position the attachment arm for more efficient load placement is referred to as a side shifter.
Forklift fork Positioner: The positioner is a hydraulic attachment which helps position the forks either separately or simultaneously, according to the load size. It relieves drivers of lift trucks from having to manually adjust the forks.
Pole Attachments: Pole attachments are used to lift carpet rolls.
Telescopic forklift forks: These attachments allow the driver to load and unload vehicles from a single side. They permit the handling of two pallets of various sizes simultaneously and are very 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 equipped with arm pads lined with four-way reversible rubber. A backrest to the loads helps prevent damage to the loads.
Slip sheet attachment: Slip sheet forklift is an alternative to pallet systems. This hydraulic transport and storing system clamps onto the slip sheet to be able to draw it onto a thin and wide metal fork. Handy for intra-corporate deliveries and for shipping abroad.
Man Basket: A man basket is a platform which could slide onto forklift forks. It is intended to raise employees. Safety features comprise railings to prevent falls and brackets for attaching safety harnesses.
