Lull Telehandlers
Since 1959, Lull has been making telehandlers. Their equipment have been designed for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This system provides much more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer different optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you complete all your needs, while being efficient and safe at the worksite. When both accuracy and precision are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to accomplish everything you need.
The Future
To be able to make rough terrain forklifts as functional as possible, many attachments have been engineered and made such as winches, booms, and rotating fork carriages, to allow the forklift to position materials more precisely. The articulating booms or booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and could reach up and over structures in order to place loads on interior roof slope settings or in the center of upper floors. New products and attachments are being engineered and developed all the time and will debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, several improvements have been made. Like for instance, load-reach management devices could restrict the forklift's reach automatically, based on the load being handled as opposed to depending on the operator. Pressure sensors are utilized in order to know the weight of the load. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device that had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The memory of the boom would compare the extension and the angle 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 forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
