Telescopic Forklifts
In the industry of transporting heavy materials around a warehouse, standard forklifts are frequently used. Other applications, like mining, require forklifts built for rough terrain. Telescopic forklifts are best for off-road use. Particular design features of a telescopic forklift must be taken into account before purchasing.
Telescopic Forklift Features
A type of vehicle that is enclosed with a protective covering and has large windows is known as a telescopic forklift. The big wheels are suited to off-road travel. The forklift is meant to easily maneuver through a work site. An extendable boom is mounted to the forklift's rear. There are lots of choices for accessories to attach to the tip of the boom. For example, the forklift could be outfitted with a bucket or a fork attachment. There are plenty of forklift companies these days. The leaders in the industry are Caterpillar, Hyster, Bobcat and Komatsu. These companies all produce high quality forklifts for industrial use.
Weight Capacity
Choosing the right telescopic forklift for the intended use requires some consideration of your company's specific lifting needs. Prior to buying a telescopic forklift, determine your biggest lifting weight needs, and after that select a forklift which can lift more than that. If the telescopic forklift is too small to handle the maximum loads of the business, a tip over could result.
Tires
If your company is considering the purchase of used machines, be certain that it is well maintained. Check the treads on the tires of the telescopic forklift. If the tires are worn, they must be replaced to avoid accidents caused by the forklift turning over and slipping.
