Telehandler's are unique in that their advantage is also their biggest drawback: 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 quite unstable, even with the rear counterweights. This translates to the lifting capacity decreasing fast as the working radius increases. The working radius is the distance between the front of the wheels and the center of the load.
For example, a vehicle that has a 5000 pound capacity with the boom retracted may be able to safely raise only as much as 400 lb. once it is completely extended with a low boom angle. The same unit with a five thousand lb. lift capacity which has the boom retracted might be able to easily support as heavy as 10,000 pounds with the boom raised up to 70.
England originally pioneered the telehandler in Horley, Surrey. The Matbro Company developed these machinery from their articulated cross country forestry forklifts. At first, they had a centrally mounted boom design on the front section. This positioned the driver's cab on the back portion of the equipment, like in the Teleram 40 model. The rigid chassis design with the cab located on the side and a rear mounted boom has ever since become more and more popular.
At the center of the 5 steps and this regulation, there is a machinery which lifts heavy weights to impressive heights and stands on a triangular footprint. The main goal is to keep the telehandler upright, but for sure there are risks.
The rear-axle pivot point, and the two front wheels make up the triangular base of the telehandler. Normally the back axle oscillates and hence, the back wheels are not a part of the base. The telehandler remains upright so long as the center of gravity of the machine, that is defined as the point in 3 dimensions around which the weight of the machinery is balanced, stays oriented inside the stability triangle.
Some of the main parts needing attention during maintenance consist of the safety warning devices, gauges, horn, the overhead guard and the lights. Any faulty parts or burnt out light bulbs must be replaced as soon as they are noticed. It is also essential to inspect the wiring.
After the above components have been checked carefully, proceed to the battery compartment to be able to see if the terminals are clean. If the terminals are not clean, be sure to clean them properly. Each cell of the battery has to be checked in order to ensure the fill level is topped up to the regulated amount.
