Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Moreno Valley

A kind of equipment that is particularly designed to load and unload heavy, big freight containers is known as a container forklift. They are used to shuttle freight on and off truck beds, trains and ships. Container forklifts are the most sturdy and largest types of forklifts manufactured. They have to be very maneuverable on terrain that is uneven and have enough power and torque to lift bulky containers safely. They normally have heavy-duty diesel engines and large pneumatic tires.

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks in order to raise the containers. Forks must be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Several types of container forklifts are just designed to lift the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers use a different technique for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler uses a device attached to the front of the vehicle to clamp down on either end of the container like jaws. The machinery is counterbalanced with weights to maintain stability.

Carrying and transporting containers is the main purpose of a container forklift. Standard forklifts do not have sufficient reach for working in ports. The forks are rated according to the most weight they can handle. The capabilities of the forklift must never be exceeded and must be posted prominently in the cockpit.
