JCB Zoom Boom Long Beach

Raw Materials

The telescoping boom rough terrain forklift's cab, body, boom and frame are generally produced by a forklift maker. Steel is the most common materials utilized to make these because they have amazing strength. Sometimes steel forgings or aluminum are also utilized. It is common for non-metallic materials like nylon plastic blocks to be utilized as guides within the boom assembly. The other components are typically purchased as finished products and the forklift maker installs them.



Some of the pre-assembled purchased products include the transmission, seat, axles, engine, tires, wheels and hoses, backup-alarm, lights, hydraulic cylinders and gauges. Usually, certain materials like the fuel and lubricants and hydraulic fluids are bought in bulk. These liquids are added as needed when the equipment is assembled and has passed the rigorous testing sessions.



Design

The common design which is most typical of telescoping boom rough terrain forklifts is a long and narrow design which has a set of wheels at the front of the unit and another set located towards the rear of the machinery. The model's boom is mounted at the forklift's rear off of a pivot feature that is raised several feet above the frame's level. Normally, the cab is mounted on the left-hand side of the frame structure. Usually, the bottom half of the cab is low and located between the tires. The fuel tank and the hydraulic fuel tank are mounted opposite the cab on the right-hand side. Along the center-line of the vehicle, the engine and the transmission are mounted inside the frame.



Beyond this basic configuration, different manufacturers have contributed to their own unique design. On the market today, there are many different options offered. Certain models of forklifts use a single hydraulic cylinder in order to raise the boom, and other units use 2 cylinders. Some units utilize a side-to-side hydraulic frame leveling capability. This feature enables the frame to tilt up to 10 degrees relative to the axles in order to allow the machinery to compensate for extreme axle articulation. Like for example, this is used when the tires on one side of the lift truck are located down in a rut and the tires on the other side of the equipment are up, located on a mound of dirt.



Another common design feature includes fork attachments that are capable of swinging up to 45 degrees both left and right, in order to allow precise load placement.
