Greater horizontal outreach can be obtained using telescopic booms rather than any other kind of aerial platform. These kinds of machines are ideal for places 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 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom classification normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height in order to know the capacity of the equipment.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite since they offer the speed, torque and traction needed to get the job completed. Although the equipment are made large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in tight areas. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system offered by the rough-terrain models enable the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. Furthermore, some particular units provide extendable axles that provide stability and retract for easy transportation. There are multiple diesel engine alternatives offered on the market also.
