Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Gilbert

A kind of machine that is particularly designed to unload and load heavy, large freight containers is called a container forklift. They are utilized to shuttle freight off and on ships, truck beds and trains. Container forklifts are the biggest and most durable kinds of forklifts made. They need to be extremely maneuverable on terrain that is uneven and have enough torque and power to safely raise large containers. Normally, they have large pneumatic tires and heavy-duty diesel engines.

Like all types of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks in order to lift the containers. Forks should be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Several container forklift models are just designed to lift the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another method for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler uses 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.

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 according to the most weight they can handle. The forklift's capabilities should never be exceeded and should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
