Lull Telehandlers
Lull telehandlers have been in production since the year 1959. They specialize in load placement. For more precise placement capabilities, their patented Stabil-Trak stability system offers much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer various optional attachments and these telehandlers can really help you accomplish all your requirements, whilst being safe and efficient at the worksite. When precision and accuracy are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to complete everything you require.
The Future
In order to make rough terrain forklifts as efficient as possible, numerous attachments have been designed and made like winches, booms, and rotating fork carriages, to allow the forklift to place materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and can reach up and over structures so as to position loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New attachments and products are being engineered and made all the time and would be available 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 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 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.
When the load is being placed into position, the memory will compare the boom's extension and the angle of the boom with the safety limits. There is a warning system or an important lock-up device which prevents the operator from over-reaching and possibly causing the boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
