Manitou Zoom Boom Los Angeles

Over the last decade, telehandlers, also known as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have exceeded the popularity of powered mobile machinery. These equipment have become the gem of the construction business and with good reason. These kinds of machinery are practical, versatile and really powerful. As the number of manufacturers and models has exploded during the last 5 years or so, there are now a few of these machines readily offered on the market.



The Telehandler is considered a Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. In name only, this description means it is a rough terrain forklift. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on operation and on sight. There are several other significant distinctions between the two machinery discussed below.



A telehandler has an entirely different look because it is fitted with a horizontal boom rather than a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment could resemble more of a mobile crane instead of a forklift. The boom can retract and extend or telescope as long as 30 feet and beyond which depends on the particular model. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to about 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.



Another optional boom related function is referred to as a "Transaction". The telehandler equipped with this alternative mounted on the chassis. When the operator activates it, the boom would move forward and back for distances up to 8 feet or more. Among the key advantages of this function is that it enables the forks to be cleanly withdrawn from a cargo and the forks could be cleanly inserted under, regardless of the boom angle.



The construction industry have been revolutionized by zoom booms. They can accomplish many tasks that used to take a lot more time and man-power to do.
