Greater horizontal outreach could be obtained with telescopic booms rather than any other type of aerial platform. These equipment are ideal for locations which offer limited access in construction and industrial situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. 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 normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the capacity of the machinery.
Since they provide the speed, torque and traction required to get the job done, telescopic booms have been really productive on the worksite. Though the machines are made really large to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in confined spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain units allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Moreover, several particular units offer extendable axles that retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are various diesel engine alternatives offered on the market as well.
