Lull Telehandlers
Lull telehandlers have been in production ever since the year 1959. They specialize in load placement. For more accurate placement capabilities, their patented Stabil-Trak stability system provides much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers provide various optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you complete all your needs, whilst being efficient and safe at the worksite. When accuracy and precision are really vital, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you require.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain forklifts as functional as possible, numerous attachments have been designed and made like booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to enable the forklift to position materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms come with 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures in order to place loads in the center of upper floors or on interior roof slope settings. New attachments and products are being developed and engineered all the time and would be available in the future.
Many improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. For instance, load-reach management devices could restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled rather than depending on the operator. Pressure sensors are used to be able to determine the weight of the load. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The boom's memory would compare the angle and the extension of the boom with the safety limits, once the load is being placed into position. There is a warning system or an important lock-up device which prevents the operator from over-reaching and potentially causing the forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
