A telehandler or a telescopic handler is a machinery which is popular within the agriculture and construction industries. These machinery are similar in function and appearance to a forklift or a lift truck but are really more similar to a crane rather than a forklift. The telehandler offers improved versatility of a single telescopic boom which can extend forwards as well as upwards from the vehicle. The operator has the ability to connect many attachments on the end of the boom. Several of the most popular attachments comprise: a bucket, a muck grab, a lift table or pallet forks.
In order to transport loads through areas that are usually unreachable for a conventional forklift. The telehandler uses pallet forks as their most common attachment. For instance, telehandlers could move cargo to and from locations that are not normally accessible by standard forklift units. These devices also have the ability to remove palletized loads from within a trailer and place these loads in high places, such as on rooftops for example. Previously, this aforementioned situation will require a crane. Cranes could be expensive to utilize and not always a practical or time-efficient option.
One more advantage is also the telehandlers largest limitation: since the boom raises or extends when the machinery 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 fast 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 instance, the telehandler will just have a 400 pound weight capacity, whereas a retracted boom can support weights as much as five thousand lb. The same unit with a five thousand pound lift capacity that has the boom retracted might be able to easily support as heavy as ten thousand lb. with the boom raised up to 70.
The Matbro Company in Horley, Surrey, England first pioneered telehandlers. These machinery were developed from their articulated cross country forestry forklifts. Initially, they had a centrally mounted boom design on the front section. This placed the cab of the driver on the back portion of the machinery, like in the Teleram 40 unit. The rigid chassis design with the cab located on the side and a rear mounted boom has ever since become more popular.
Side shifter: Side shifters are attachments that enable operators to laterally position the attachment arms for more effective load placement.
Forklift fork Positioner: A kind of hydraulic attachment that helps position the forks separately or simultaneously according to the size of the loads is referred to as a positioner. It relieves operators of lift trucks from having to adjust the forks manually.
Pole Attachments: A type of attachment which are utilized to lift carpet rolls are known as a pole attachment.
Telescopic forklift forks: These attachments enable the driver to unload and load vehicles from a single side. They permit the handling of two differently-sized pallets simultaneously 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 to be able to draw it onto a wide and thin metal fork. Useful for shipping abroad and for intra-corporate deliveries.
Man Basket: A man basket is a platform that can slide onto forklift forks. It is designed to raise workers. Safety features include railings to avoid falls and brackets for attaching safety harnesses.
