Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been producing telehandlers. Their equipment have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This system provides a lot more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers provide a large range of optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you accomplish your requirements, whilst being efficient and safe at the worksite. If both accuracy and precision are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to accomplish everything you need.
The Future
Many attachments have been designed and developed in order to make rough terrain lift trucks as efficient as possible. Winches, booms and rotating fork carriages allow the forklift to place materials in a more precise manner. The articulating booms or booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures in order to place loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New attachments and products are being made and engineered all the time and would be available in the future.
Lots of improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. For example, load-reach management devices could restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used in order to know the weight of the load. This information is sent to a tiny electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
Once the load is being placed into position, the memory would compare the extension of the boom and the angle of the boom with the safety limits. There is a warning system or an important lock-up device which prevents the operator from over-reaching and potentially causing the forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
