Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Los Angeles

A container forklift is particularly designed to load and unload huge, heavy freight containers. They are utilized to shuttle freight off and on trains, ships and truck beds. Container forklifts are the most durable and biggest types of forklifts made. They have to be very maneuverable on uneven terrain and have enough torque and power to lift large containers safely. Typically, they have large pneumatic tires and heavy-duty diesel engines.

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift utilizes forks to be able to lift the containers. Forks must be positioned to ensure the load is secure during transport. Various container forklift models are only designed to lift the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another method for carrying containers to greater heights. A container handler uses 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 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 based on the most weight they can handle. The capabilities of the forklift should never be exceeded and should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
