Manitou Zoom Boom Long Beach

Telehandlers in the past decade, is also referred to as variable reach rough terrain lift truck, has gained great popularity in the material handling business. With excellent reason, these particular machines have become the gem of the construction business. These types of machinery are versatile, very powerful and useful. As some manufacturers and models has exploded during the past 5 years or so, there are now a few of these machines readily offered on the market.



The Telehandler is considered a Class 7 Powered Industrial Truck. In name only, this description means it is a rough terrain lift truck. Any of the similarities between a vertical mast type of forklift and a telehandler literally ends on sight and on operation. There are several other major differences between the two machines discussed below.



Compared to a vertical mast, a telehandler has a completely different look as 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 lift truck. The boom is able to telescope or retract and extend to lengths of 30 feet and beyond that depends on the specific unit. The boom could also elevate to an angle from horizontal to approximately 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.



"Transaction" is a different optional boom related function. Telehandlers which are outfitted with this alternative have a boom which is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator starts it, the entire boom to travel forward and back, especially for distances up to eight feet or so. One of the key benefits of this function is that it enables the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks could be inserted under cleanly, regardless of the boom angle.



Zoom booms have revolutionized the construction business. They can perform many jobs which used to take a lot more time and man-power to finish.
