Lull Telehandlers
Lull telehandlers have been in production ever since the year 1959. They specialize in load placement. For more precise placement capabilities, their patented Stabil-Trak stability system offers a lot more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer different optional attachments and these telehandlers are available to help you accomplish 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 require.
The Future
To be able to make rough terrain lift trucks as efficient as possible, many attachments have been engineered and made like booms, winches, and rotating fork carriages, to enable the forklift to place materials more accurately. The booms or articulating booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and could reach up and over structures in order to place loads in the upper or center floors or on interior roof slope settings. New products and attachments are being developed and designed all the time and would debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, some improvements have been made. Like for example, load-reach management devices can 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 determine the weight of the load. This information is sent to a small electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The boom's memory would compare the extension and the angle of the boom with the safety limits, once the load is being placed into position. There is an important lock-up device or a warning system which prevents the operator from over-reaching and potentially causing the boom to fail or the forklift to tip over.
