Telescopic booms more than any other type of aerial platform have greater horizontal outreach. These types of machines are ideal for places which offer 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 classification normally includes a reference to the platform height of the boom so as to identify the machine's capacity.
