Used Manitou Zoom Boom Glendale

Telehandlers in the last decade, is also known as variable reach rough terrain forklift, has gained great fame within the material handling industry. With good reason, these specific machines have become the gem of the construction business. These types of equipment are useful, versatile and very powerful. Because the number of models and manufacturers has exploded over 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 vertical mast type of forklift and a telehandler literally ends on sight and on operation. There are several other significant differences between the two machines discussed below.

A telehandler has a completely different look because it is equipped with a horizontal boom rather than a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment can look more like a mobile crane rather than a forklift. The boom can telescope or retract and extend as long as 30 feet and beyond which depends on the particular unit. The boom is also able to elevate to an angle from horizontal to about 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" because of their ability to telescope. This name has become rather popular with the operators.

"Transaction" is a different optional boom related function. Telehandlers which are outfitted with this option have a boom that is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator activates it, the whole boom to travel forward and back, specifically for distances up to eight feet or so. Among the major advantages of this function is that it enables the forks to be cleanly withdrawn from a load and the forks could be cleanly inserted underneath, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have revolutionized the construction industry. They can perform numerous tasks that used to take much more time and man-power to finish.
