Used Manitou Zoom Boom Moreno Valley

In the past decade, telehandlers, also referred to as rough terrain variable reach forklifts, have exceeded the popularity of motorized mobile machines. These equipment have become the gem of the construction industry and with excellent reason. These machines are practical, versatile and really powerful. Since the number of manufacturers and models has exploded over the past 5 years or so, there are now a few of these machines 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 lift truck, but just in name only. Any of the similarities between a telehandler and a vertical mast type forklift literally ends on sight and on operation. There are some other major differences between the two equipment discussed below.

A telehandler has a completely different look because it is outfitted with a horizontal boom as opposed to a vertical mast. From a distance, a telehandler with a jib attachment could resemble more of a mobile crane instead of a lift truck. The boom could retract and extend or telescope as long as 30 feet and beyond which depends on the particular unit. The boom could also elevate to an angle from horizontal to around 70 degrees. Telehandlers have been referred to as "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 equipped with this option have a boom that is mounted on the chassis in such a way that when the operator starts it, the whole boom to travel back and forward, particularly for distances up to eight feet or so. One of the major benefits of this function is that it enables the forks to be cleanly withdrawn from a cargo and the forks can be cleanly inserted under, regardless of the boom angle.

Zoom booms have changed the construction industry. They are able to accomplish many kinds of tasks that used to take a lot more man-power and time to finish.
