Greater horizontal outreach can be attained with telescopic booms more than any other kind of aerial platform. These machines are great for places that offer limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms range from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 24.38 meters and 80 feet. These models provide working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 131 feet 2 inches or 40.15 meters. Telescopic boom nomenclature normally includes a reference to the boom's platform height so as to identify the capacity of the machinery.
Telescopic booms are really productive on the worksite as they offer the traction, speed and torque needed to get the job done. While the equipment are made huge enough to reach higher, they are still compact enough to fit great in tight spaces. The positive traction system and the full-time oscillating axle provided by the rough-terrain models allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with precision and ease. Additionally, some specialized units offer extendable axles which retract for easy transportation and provide stability. There are multiple diesel engine options available on the market too.
