Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Long Beach

A type of machine which is specifically designed to unload and load heavy, huge freight containers is known as a container forklift. They are used to transport freight off and on ships, truck beds and trains. Container forklifts are the most sturdy and biggest types of forklifts manufactured. They need to be extremely maneuverable on uneven terrain and have enough power and torque to safely lift bulky containers. They normally have large pneumatic tires and heavy-duty diesel engines.

A container forklift, like all types of forklift, uses forks in order to lift the containers. Forks need to be positioned to ensure the load is secure during transport. Various kinds of container forklifts are only designed to raise the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize a different technique for carrying containers to greater heights. A container handler uses a device affixed 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.

Lifting and transferring containers is the main purpose of a container forklift. Standard forklifts do not have enough reach for working in ports. The forks are rated based on the most weight they can handle. The capabilities of the forklift should be posted prominently in the cockpit and should never be exceeded.
