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 a lot more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers provide different optional attachments and these telehandlers can really help you complete all your requirements, whilst being efficient and safe at the worksite. If precision and accuracy are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to accomplish everything you require.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain lift trucks as functional as possible, numerous attachments have been designed and made such as booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to allow the forklift to position materials more accurately. The booms or articulating booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and could reach up and over structures so as to position loads on interior roof slope settings or in the center of upper floors. New attachments and products are being engineered and developed all the time and would be available in the future.
Many improvements have been made with extra safety features becoming more prevalent. For instance, load-reach management devices could automatically restrict the forklift's reach, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used in order to know the load weight. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
Once the load is being placed into position, the memory will compare the extension of the boom and the angle of the boom with the safety limits. 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.
