Lull Telehandlers
Since 1959, Lull has been producing telehandlers. Their machines have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This particular system offers much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer a large range of optional attachments and these telehandlers can really help you accomplish all your needs, whilst being safe and efficient at the worksite. If accuracy and precision are really vital, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you need.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain forklifts as functional as possible, many attachments have been designed and developed like booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to enable the forklift to position materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures so as to position loads in the center of upper floors or on interior roof slope settings. New attachments and products are being made and engineered all the time and will debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, several improvements have been made. Like for example, load-reach management devices can restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled as opposed to relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are utilized to be able to know the load weight. This information is sent to a tiny electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The boom's memory will compare the angle and the extension of the boom with the safety limits, when 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 possibly causing the forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
