Telescopic handler is popular machinery which is used in agriculture, construction, and many
other industries. Its function is similar to a forklift but it is more of a crane.
It has telescopic boom which can be extended upward and forward. Pallet forks
are most important attachment of telescopic handler. While at its basement
other attachments can be mounted like lifting hook, bucket, pallet etc.
These
telehandler are used to move loads where conventional forklift can not reach. But
its biggest advantage is also its disadvantage. As working radius increases, its
capacity to lift the load decreases. That’s why most of the telescopic handlers have
sensors which work as monitor if the limit exceeds.
Due
to its limitation a qualified operator is required to do the task in a safely
manner. There is need of a proper training for all those who want to operate telescopic
handler. Although manufactures have improved computer application and design of
telescopic handler, while reducing operators workload but this does not reduced
the need and importance of qualified operator.
Many
brands of telescopic handlers are available in market. Following are names of its
most common manufacturers.
