Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been making telehandlers. Their equipment have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This system provides a lot more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers provide a large range of optional attachments and these telehandlers can really help you complete your requirements, while being efficient and safe at the worksite. If precision and accuracy are really important, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you need.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain forklifts as efficient as possible, many attachments have been designed and made such as booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to enable the forklift to place materials more accurately. The articulating booms or booms come with 2 different extendible arms and can reach up and over structures in order to place loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being made and engineered all the time and will debut in the future.
Many improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. For example, load-reach management devices can automatically restrict the forklift's reach, based on the load being handled as opposed to depending on the operator. Pressure sensors are utilized to be able to know 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 essential lock-up device which prevents the operator from over-reaching and potentially causing the boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
