What Are The Advantages of Telehandlers?

Telehandlers are forklift trucks equipped with a retractable boom, whose forks or attachments are usually installed on the boom, capable of carrying out lifting or fork-lifting operations on goods.

Telehandler is an important category of aerial work equipment, as a continuation of the traditional forklift and the continuation of the development of the telescopic boom forklift, it will be the telescopic boom structure of the truck crane and the traditional forklift fork loading function, the loader rapid movement and shovel loading and unloading of materials organically combined with the full use of the telescopic boom structure to reach up high, reach far away, with a variety of attachments, expanding the operational function and the scope of operation, and improving the operation of the site. With a variety of attachments, it expands the operation function and scope, and improves the adaptability to the operation site.

The forks of teleshandler can cross the obstacles, cross the holes and so on to carry out fork-lift operation, and can carry out stacking and depalletising operation of multiple rows of goods under complicated working conditions. Telehandlers have a good front view and lower requirements for the clearance height of the aisle, and are usually also classified within the range of rough terrain forklift trucks.

The characteristics of telehandlers

The birth of the telescopic arm forklift truck mainly solves the technical problem of automatic fork levelling. Traditional forklift trucks rely on vertical gantry lift to adjust the operating height, lift process fork plane to maintain a horizontal state, will not change. While the telescopic boom forklift trucks rely on adjusting the angle of the telescopic arm to change the height of the forks, the fork plane angle changes with the telescopic arm angle.

Features of telehandler: as a multi-functional engineering machinery and equipment, it has the following significant advantages:

Flexibility. Telehandler adopts four-wheel drive type, with three steering modes (front wheel steering, four-wheel steering, diagonal walking), two-speed gear transmission, small turning radius, flexible, fast and accurate operations in a narrow space are possible.

Versatility. Telehandlers are widely used and can work continuously for a long time. Choose from a range of quick-change attachments, including forks, buckets, truss arms, vertical gantries and more. There is no need to buy another model, just add a few available attachments to the machine to increase the capacity, flexibility and efficiency of the forklift truck. Forklift trucks usually integrate the functions of forklift trucks, loaders, aerial work platforms and other equipment, and are able to complete a variety of operational tasks such as lifting, forking, lifting, shovelling and digging.

Stability and safety. Telehandlers have long wheelbase, low center of gravity, stable legs can be installed in the front of the frame and the boom has automatic locking function of extending and lowering, the engine is placed in the longitudinal centre of the frame, so that it can maintain stability in the hillside and rugged areas; the weight is evenly distributed, four-wheel drive, which improves the mobility in the mud, rocky areas, sandy and snowy areas, and it has good cross-country performance and the ability of adapting to different terrains. uneven sites or narrow spaces with flexible operation; wide field of vision.

High efficiency. Telehandlers are often designed to improve operational efficiency, for example, by enabling fast loaded travel, reducing material transfer times, and having high operational speeds and high load capacities.

The application of telehandlers

Telehandlers can use a variety of attachments to effectively complete a variety of different operations, truly becoming a multi-functional construction machinery. Widely used in agriculture and animal husbandry, logistics industry, dock work, aerial work, trailer transport, urban infrastructure, industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses and other construction sites lifting, transporting, stacking bricks, timber, steel and other materials, become ideal efficient loading and unloading handling tools in modern industry, construction and agriculture. With the development of economic construction, the demand for it is getting bigger and bigger, and the requirement for its performance is getting higher and higher.
