Used Manitou Zoom Boom Roseville

Over the past decade, telehandlers, also known as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have surpassed the popularity of powered mobile machines. These equipment have become the gem of the construction business and with excellent reason. These equipment are extremely strong, practical and versatile. Since several manufacturers and models has exploded during the past 5 years or so, there are currently a few of these machinery readily available on the market.

In technical terms, a telehandler is considered to be an ITA* Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. This description means it is a rough terrain forklift, but only in name only. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on sight and on operation. There are some other significant distinctions between the two machines discussed below.

Compared to a vertical mast, a telehandler has an entirely different look since it is made with a horizontal boom. A telehandler with a jib attachment from a distance could resemble more of a crane rather than a forklift. The boom is able to telescope or retract and extend to lengths of 30 feet and beyond that depends on the particular model. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to about 70 degrees. Telehandlers have been called "zoom booms" due to their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.

"Transaction" is another optional boom related function. Telehandlers which are equipped with this alternative have a boom which is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator starts it, the whole boom to travel back and forward, specifically for distances up to eight feet or so. Among the main advantages of this function is that it enables the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks can be inserted under cleanly, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have revolutionized the construction business. They could accomplish numerous kinds of tasks that used to take a lot more time and man-power to complete.
