VR-843 telescopic material handler from Ingersoll-Rand has 3 steering modes

Ingersoll-Rand's Construction Material Handling Equipment Group expands its rough-terrain forklift line with the introduction of the VR-843, a heavy-duty, higher-reaching telescopic material handler. It has an 3629-kg (8000-lb) lift capacity and a maximum lift height of 13 m (43 ft), with a forward reach of 8.6 m (28.3 ft). The low-profile, ergonomically designed machine offers many benefits to customers, including an overall height of only 241.3 cm (95 in.) in the carry position and the ability to carry a load under an 2.4-m (8-ft) overhang. By maintaining its current A-frame boom mount design, the operator is provided with great overall visibility in the carry position. The operator can see clearly through the A-frame to the right rear and to the right side of the machine. The 3629-kg (8000-lb) telescopic handler offers load-sensing, pilot-operated hydraulic controls. This unit is also equipped with a column mounted, 3-speed, forward and reverse directional lever, a full gauge package, and three steering modes - four-wheel steer, two-wheel steer, and crab steer.
