1、 Definition of telescopic forklifts
A telescopic forklift is a forklift equipped with a telescopic boom, and its forks or attachments are usually installed on the boom, which can lift or forklift goods.
Telescopic boom forklifts are an important category of high-altitude work equipment. As a continuation of traditional forklifts, they have continuously developed. They combine the telescopic boom structure of car cranes with the forklift loading function of traditional forklifts, as well as the fast movement of loaders and the loading and unloading function of shovel materials. They fully utilize the characteristics of the telescopic boom structure that extends high and far, and cooperate with various accessories, Expanded homework functions and scope, and improved adaptability to the work site.
The forks of telescopic forklifts can cross obstacles, pass through holes, and perform forklift loading operations, and can stack and dismantle multiple rows of goods under complex working conditions. The front view of telescopic forklifts is good, and the requirements for the clearance height of the passage are relatively low. They are usually also classified within the range of off-road forklifts.

2、 The characteristics of telescopic forklifts
The birth of telescopic forklifts mainly solved the technical problem of automatic leveling of forks. Traditional forklifts adjust their operating height by lifting the vertical gantry. During the lifting process, the fork plane remains horizontal and does not change. The loading of telescopic forks relies on adjusting the angle of the telescopic arm to change the height of the forks, and the plane angle of the forks changes with the angle of the telescopic arm.
The characteristics of telescopic forklifts include:
1. Flexibility. The telescopic forklift adopts a four-wheel drive type, with three steering modes (front wheel steering, four-wheel steering, and diagonal walking), a dual speed gear transmission, a small turning radius, and can operate flexibly, quickly, and accurately in narrow spaces.
2. Versatility. The telescopic boom forklift has a wide range of uses and can operate continuously for a long time. There is a series of quick replacement accessory devices available for selection, including forks, buckets, truss arms, vertical gantry frames, etc. No need to purchase other models, just add a few available accessories to the machine to improve the production capacity, flexibility, and work efficiency of forklifts.
3. Stability and safety. The telescopic arm forklift has a long wheelbase, low center of gravity, stable support legs can be installed at the front of the frame, and the arm frame has automatic locking functions for extending and lowering. The engine is placed in the longitudinal center of the frame, making it stable on slopes and rough terrain; Uniform weight distribution and four-wheel drive improve mobility on muddy, rocky, sandy, and snowy terrain; Wide field of vision.
3、 The application of telescopic forklifts
The telescopic boom forklift can utilize various auxiliary devices to effectively complete various tasks, truly becoming a multifunctional engineering machinery. Widely used in agriculture, animal husbandry, logistics industry, dock operations, high-altitude operations, trailer transportation, urban infrastructure, industrial and mining enterprise warehouses, and other construction sites for lifting, transporting, stacking bricks, wood, steel, and other materials, it has become an ideal high efficiency loading and unloading tool for modern industry, construction industry, and agriculture. With the development of economic construction, the demand for it is increasing, and the requirements for its performance are also increasing.
