Telescopic lift trucks
Telescopic forklift models are equipped with a pronged lift on an arm which extends over the top of the truck offering versatility and great height. The arm, or crane, is known as a telescopic boom. The boom allows the individual utilizing it to raise the load to great heights while maintaining a high degree of control. Standard forklifts aren't able to move the load away from and towards the cab of the forklift, while a telescopic forklift allows that movement. The telescopic forklift is usually used in agriculture and construction. It is better for applications where greater control and lift is needed.
In cases requiring high volume carton handling, hydraulic attachments known as forklift carton clamp attachments are recommended. The attachment has arm pads with four way reversible rubber linings that enable the operator to use uniform clamping force when lifting a load. It comes with a backrest which protects the loads from damage.
A sleep sheet forklift will usually utilize a slip sheet attachment for storing systems that don't utilize pallets. The attachment clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls it onto the forks on the forklift. This kind of system is useful for overseas shipments and intra-corporate deliveries.
A lift platform which is meant to hoist personnel is referred to as a Man Basket. It attaches to the forklift forks and a strap or chain is utilized to attach the basket to the forklift carriage. The platform has railings to protect the employees from falling to the ground. Brackets on the platform are used for fastening the safety harness of the worker.
