Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Downey

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

Like all types of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks to raise the containers. Forks must be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Various container forklift models are just designed to raise the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another technique for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler utilizes an apparatus affixed 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 transferring 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 could handle. The forklift's capabilities must be posted prominently in the cockpit and should never be exceeded.
