Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been making telehandlers. Their machines have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This particular system provides much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer different optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you accomplish your requirements, while being safe and efficient at the worksite. If both accuracy and precision are really important, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you need.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain lift trucks as functional as possible, numerous attachments have been engineered and developed like booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to enable the forklift to place materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms come with 2 different extendible arms and could reach up and over structures so as to place loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being developed and engineered all the time and would debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, several improvements have been made. Like for example, load-reach management devices are able to automatically restrict the forklift's reach, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used to be able to determine the load weight. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device that 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, when the load is being placed into position. There is an important lock-up device or a warning system that prevents the operator from over-reaching and possibly causing the forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
