Used Manitou Zoom Boom Santa Clarita

In the last decade, telehandlers, also referred to as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have exceeded the reputation of powered mobile machines. These machinery have become the gem of the construction industry and with good reason. These types of equipment are useful, versatile and extremely powerful. Since several models and manufacturers has exploded over the past 5 years or so, there are now a few of these machinery readily offered 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 just 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 some other major distinctions between the two machinery discussed below.

A telehandler has an entirely different look because it is outfitted with a horizontal boom rather than a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment can resemble more of a mobile crane rather than a lift truck. The boom is able to extend and retract or telescope to lengths of 30 feet and beyond depending on the particular unit. The boom can also elevate to an angle from horizontal to around 70 degrees. Telehandlers have earned the nickname of "zoom booms" due to their ability to telescope. This name has become rather famous with the operators.

"Transaction" is another optional boom related function. Telehandlers that are equipped 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, especially for distances up to eight feet or so. Among the main advantages of this function is that it allows the forks to be withdrawn from a cargo cleanly or with no snags and the forks can be inserted under cleanly, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have revolutionized the construction industry. They are able to accomplish many jobs which used to take much more man-power and time to finish.
