Telescopic booms other than any other kind of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These kinds of machinery are great for locations that provide limited access in industrial and construction situations.
The capacities of CAT's telescopic booms vary from 9.65 meters or 31 feet 8 inches to 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units offer working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom nomenclature typically includes a reference to the platform height of the boom in order to know the machine's capacity.
Telescopic booms are extremely productive on the worksite as they offer the torque, traction and speed needed to get the job completed. Even though the machines are built very large 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 allow the rugged jobsites to be handled with ease and precision. In addition, several particular models offer extendable axles that offer stability and retract for easy transportation. There are multiple diesel engine options available on the market too.
