The telescopic boom forklift is a mobile handling machine used in various sectors of activity, such as: agriculture, public works, masonry and construction trades. It differs from other types of material handling trucks (forklift, wheel loader) in its ability to handle loads at variable distances using a single telescopic arm.
Their dimensions and weights make them machines that can cause serious accidents. Workers who are called upon to drive and operate these machines must have received valid training for this purpose, and any new operator must be adequately supervised. In addition, every worker must also receive practical training to legally drive and operate a telescopic forklift.
