Choosing the Right Carriage Attachment for Your Telehandler
A telehandler is a multipurpose tool used for lifting and moving objects. Telehandlers can be fitted with several attachments, including carriages, forks, buckets, and jibs, and have a lifting capacity. They provide good movement in confined situations and are made for all-terrain use. From a cozy and secure cab or platform, the telehandler's operator controls the machine.
Carriages
This is the most common type of attachment used for telehandlers. The carriage attachments are versatile in their ability to perform different tasks. The type of attachment that is needed depends on the task and other factors.
1. Standard carriage
The standard carriage is mainly used on construction sites to lift, transport, and place materials. This attachment is particularly easy to handle due to its structure, which connects to the machine by a pin and hook.
2. Side Swing
The side swing carriage is used to place the load in the center at an angle of 50 to 90 degrees from each side. This attachment is needed when the working site is deemed to be limited with no direct path to operate.
3. Side Tilt
The side tilt carriage is used to pick, place, and transport loads when operating on uneven terrain or uneven surfaces.
4. Side Shifting
The side-shifting carriage can shift the whole carriage and fork in either direction. This is suitable for lateral placement when the environment does not allow the telehandler to operate side to side.
5. Fork Placement
The fork placement carriage allows the fork to be positioned in a way that would help distribute the loads without having to leave the cab for palletized loads.
There are just a few common telehandler attachments. Depending on the particular make and model of the telehandler as well as the needs of the application, the availability of attachments could vary.
