The Carriage
Like standard forklifts, the lifting attachment could be tilted from its horizontal position to forwards and backwards. The actual possible amount of tilt completely exceeds that of vertical mast lift trucks. There are various types of available lifting attachments, and this ability to position makes them as efficient as possible.
Most telehandlers have the capability of tilting to a position that is actually parallel to the ground. Several units have rotating carriages also. This enables the operator to adjust the lifting attachment radially. This translates to the load being capable of being tilted backwards and forwards, as well as side to side.
Load Capacity
Knowing the load capacity of a telehandler is a a lot different exercise than it is on a vertical mast unit. The capacity of the model is totally dependent on such things as: the amount of boom transaction deployed, if this is applicable and boom angle and extension, whether the unit is lifting on outriggers or on rubber tires. What's more, which lifting attachment plays a really important role, as does the wind, the grade the equipment is operating on and so on. All of these specifics could be changing constantly and this gives the operator a lot more information to take into consideration.
Telehandlers would often have some different load charts available to them, giving them a good reference they could utilize to determine a certain lift's load capacity. Depending on the unit in particular and the configuration of the boom, the load capacity may vary by thousands of pounds all together.
