Telescopic booms other than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These machines are excellent for places that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 31 feet 8 inches or 9.65 meters to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom classification typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to identify the machine's capacity.
Telescopic booms are really productive on the worksite as they offer the traction, speed and torque required to get the job done. Although the machines are built large enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great within confined spaces. The full-time oscillating axle and the positive traction system offered by the rough-terrain units allow the rough jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. In addition, some specialized models offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and offer stability. There are various diesel engine alternatives available on the market too.
