Option No Charge Extra 72" Tilt Carriage for Telehandler
Tilts right and left to level up forks on uneven terrain. Avoids having to tilt the entire machine causing unsafe condition for hills, when using man platforms, and when placing loads at height.
When should I choose the 72" tilt carriage option instead of a standard fixed carriage?
+
This is commonly used for: placing palletized loads on sloped roofs; leveling forks on uneven ground; and landing materials on uneven scaffolding. It shines on sloped or rough jobsites where tilting the entire telehandler chassis is unsafe or impossible.
Is there an extra rental fee to add this 72" tilt carriage to my telehandler?
+
No, this is offered as a "No Charge Extra" option when renting a compatible telehandler from Gap Power. Please request this option at the time of your booking so we can ensure it is available and pre-installed on your machine.
How does the tilt carriage improve safety when lifting loads at height?
+
On uneven terrain, a standard fixed carriage forces you to tilt the entire telehandler frame to level the forks, which can compromise machine stability. This attachment allows you to tilt only the carriage left and right, keeping the telehandler chassis stable while keeping your load perfectly level.
Can I use this tilt carriage with any telehandler in your rental fleet?
+
This 72-inch carriage is designed to fit specific telehandlers in our rental fleet. When booking your rental, let our team know your machine requirements so we can match and mount the correct tilt carriage to your specific telehandler model.
Do I need to hook up hydraulic lines to use the tilt function?
+
Yes, the tilt function is hydraulically controlled. When the carriage is mounted to the telehandler, the auxiliary hydraulic hoses must be connected to the boom tip couplers, allowing you to control the left-and-right tilt directly from the operator's cab.
