Used Caterpillar Telehandler Forklifts Long Beach

Telescopic handlers are a bit similar to forklifts. It has a single telescopic boom which extends both forwards and upwards from the truck, and a counterweight located within the rear. It works more like a crane than a forklift. The boom can be outfitted with a variety of attachments. The most popular attachment is pallet forks, but the operator can also attach a bucket, muck grab or lift table. Also known as a telehandler, this kind of machinery is usually used in agriculture and industry.

A telehandler is often utilized to move loads to and from areas that would be hard for a standard forklift to access. Telehandlers are frequently used to unload pallets from in a trailer. They are also more practical compared to a crane for carrying loads onto rooftops and other high places.

There is just one major limitation in utilizing telehandlers. Even with rear counterweights, the weight-bearing boom could cause the vehicle to destabilize while it extends. Hence, the lifting capacity decreases as the distance between the front of the wheels and the centre of the load increases.

The Matbro company developed telehandlers in England. Their design was based on articulated cross country forklifts used in forestry. Initial versions had a driver's cab on the back section and a centrally mounted boom on the front, but nowadays the design which is most common has a rigid chassis together with a rear mounted boom and side cab.
