Telescopic Handlers are an invaluable tool in the construction and farming industries.
Telescopic Handlers are all terrain vehicles with either two or four wheel steer/drive and they can be articulated. Due to the fact that they extend the load forward of the front wheels getting progressively further away they act very much like mobile cranes, requiring a great deal of skill and concentration for them to be effective and safe.
Categories of telescopic handler forklift trucks:
- J2 - Variable reach lift truck - up to 9m lift
- J3 - High lift telescopic truck - above 9m lift
- J7 - Variable reach/telescopic rotating turret truck - above 9 metre lift
Attachments are commonly fitted to enhance the variety of tasks that these expensive vehicles can perform. Popular attachments are side-shift, fork positioners and also non hydraulic attachments such as jibs, sand/grain buckets, bale spike, etc.
