Telehandler Chain

The telescopic handler or telehandler is a generally used equipment in industrial and agricultural applications. This machine is similar in appearance to a forklift and likewise functions in a similar way, although telehandlers are much more like a crane than lift truck. It has a telescopic boom that could extend upward and forwards from the vehicle. The boom has the capability to fit one of several accessories like a lift table, muck grab, pallet forks or a bucket.

The most popular telehandler attachments are pallet forks. The telehandler is utilized so as to transfer merchandise in places where the loads cannot be moved by a standard forklift. Telehandlers are particularly useful for placing loads on rooftops for example, or for removing palletized cargo from with a trailer. A lot of the jobs that a telehandler can carry out will otherwise need a crane and this particular piece of equipment can be pricey, not always time efficient and not practical.

As the boom extends or raises while bearing a load, it likewise acts as a lever. Even with the counterweights in the back, this causes the equipment to become increasingly unbalanced; therefore, the advantage of the telehandler is really its greatest limitation. As the working radius increases, the lifting capacity decreases. The working radius is defined as the distance between the front of the wheels and the center of the load.

The telehandler with a 5000 lb capacity for example, with a retractable boom could safely lift as little as 400 lb at a completely extended boom at a low boom angle. Equivalent machines with a lift capacity of 5000 lbs and a retractable boom that could support as much as 10,000 lb with the boom raises to around 70 degrees. The operator has a load chart to help determine whether a particular lifting task can be accomplished in an efficient and safe manner. This particular chart takes into consideration the weight, height and the boom angle.

Several telehandlers come outfitted together with a computer that makes use of sensors in order to monitor the motor vehicle. These sensors will alert the operator and some are capable of cutting off further control input if the limits of the motor vehicle are exceeded. Several telehandler kinds are also equipped together with front outriggers that are known as mobile cranes. These significantly extend the lifting capability of the apparatus while it is stationary.
