Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Phoenix

A type of equipment which is specially designed to load and unload heavy, huge freight containers is called a container forklift. They are utilized to transport freight off and on trains, ships and truck beds. Container forklifts are the most durable and biggest types of forklifts made. They need to be extremely maneuverable on uneven terrain and have enough power and torque to safely lift bulky containers. Normally, they have heavy-duty diesel engines and large pneumatic tires.

A container forklift, like all kinds of forklift, utilizes forks to be able to raise the containers. Forks should be positioned to make sure the load is secure during transport. Various kinds of container forklifts are only designed to lift the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize a different method for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler makes use of an apparatus attached 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.

The main purpose of a container forklift is to raise and transport containers. Standard forklifts do not have enough reach for working in ports. The forks are rated according to the maximum weight they could handle. The capabilities of the forklift must be posted prominently in the cockpit and must never be exceeded.
