Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Torrance

A kind of machine which is specially utilized to load and unload heavy, large freight containers is called a container forklift. They are utilized to shuttle freight on and off ships, truck beds and trains. Container forklifts are the most durable and biggest kinds of forklifts manufactured. They have to be very maneuverable on terrain that is uneven and have sufficient torque and power to safely lift large containers. Typically, they have heavy-duty diesel engines and large pneumatic tires.

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks in order to lift the containers. Forks must be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Several container forklift models are only meant to raise the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another method for carrying 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 machine is counterbalanced with weights to be able 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 maximum weight they can handle. The forklift's capabilities should never be exceeded and should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
