Telescopic booms other than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These kinds of equipment are excellent for locations that offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units provide working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the machine's capacity.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite as they offer the torque, traction and speed required to get the job done. Although the machines are made very huge to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined areas. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system provided by the rough-terrain models enable the rugged jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. In addition, some specialized models offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are various diesel engine options available on the market also.
