Used Caterpillar Telehandler Forklifts Chula Vista

A telescopic handler is similar to a forklift. It possesses a single telescopic boom that extends forwards and upwards from the truck, and a counterweight within the rear. It functions more like a crane than a forklift. The boom could be equipped with a variety of attachments. The most popular attachment is pallet forks, but the operator could also attach a lift table, bucket or muck grab. Also called a telehandler, this type of machine is normally used in agriculture and industry.

When it is difficult for a standard forklift to access places, a telehandler is frequently utilized to move loads. Telehandlers are usually utilized to unload pallets from within a trailer. They are also more practical compared to a crane for carrying loads onto other high places and rooftops.

There is just one major limitation in using telehandlers. Even with rear counterweights, the weight-bearing boom could cause the machine to destabilize while it extends. Thus, the lifting capacity decreases when the distance between the center of the load and the front of the wheels increases.

The Matbro company developed telehandlers in England. Their design was based on articulated cross country forklifts utilized in forestry. Early versions had a centrally mounted boom on the front and a driver's cab on the rear section, but today the most common design has a strong chassis with a side cab and rear mounted boom.
