Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Fairfield

A container forklift is particularly used to load and unload huge, heavy freight containers. They are utilized to transport freight off and on truck beds, trains and ships. Container forklifts are the biggest and most durable types of forklifts made. They need to be extremely maneuverable on terrain which is uneven and have sufficient torque and power to raise large containers safely. They typically have big 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. Some container forklift models are just designed to raise the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize another method for carrying containers to greater heights. A container handler makes use of 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 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.
