Lull Telehandlers
Lull telehandlers have been in production ever since 1959. They specialize in load placement. For more precise placement capabilities, their patented Stabil-Trak stability system offers much more precise placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer various optional attachments and these telehandlers could really help you complete your needs, while being safe and efficient at the worksite. When both accuracy and precision are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you need.
The Future
Many attachments have been designed and developed to be able to make rough terrain forklifts as efficient as possible. Booms, winches and rotating fork carriages enable the forklift to place materials in a more accurate way. The articulating booms or booms come with 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures in order to position loads in the center of upper floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being engineered and developed all the time and would debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, some improvements have been made. Like for instance, load-reach management devices are able to restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are utilized in order 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 boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
