Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Salinas

A container forklift is specially designed to load and unload huge, heavy freight containers. They are utilized to shuttle freight off and on truck beds, trains and ships. Container forklifts are the most durable and biggest kinds of forklifts manufactured. They have to be very maneuverable on uneven terrain and have sufficient torque and power to safely raise large containers. They usually have big pneumatic tires and heavy-duty diesel engines.

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks in order to lift the containers. Forks should be positioned to ensure the load is secure during transport. Several container forklift models are just designed to raise the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another technique for carrying containers to greater heights. A container handler utilizes an apparatus attached to the front of the vehicle to clamp down on either end of the container like jaws. The machine is counterbalanced with weights to maintain stability.

The main purpose of a container forklift is to raise and transfer containers. Regular forklifts do not have enough reach for working in ports. The forks are rated according to the most weight they could handle. The capabilities of the forklift must never be exceeded and should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
