Telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These equipment are excellent for places which provide 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 80 feet and 24.38 meters. These units provide working height up to 46 feet or 14.20 meters to 40.15 meters or 131 feet 2 inches. Telescopic boom classification usually includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the machine's capacity.
