Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Sacramento

A type of machine that is specially used to load and unload 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 most sturdy and largest types of forklifts made. They have to be very maneuverable on terrain that is uneven and have enough power and torque to safely raise large containers. Normally, they have heavy-duty diesel engines and large pneumatic tires.

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks to lift the containers. Forks must be positioned to ensure the load is secure during transport. Various types of container forklifts are just designed to raise the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize another method for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler makes use of an apparatus 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 transporting 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 maximum weight they could handle. The capabilities of the forklift should be posted prominently in the cockpit and should never be exceeded.
