Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Murrieta

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

A container forklift, like all types of forklift, utilizes forks in order to lift the containers. Forks must be positioned to ensure 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 use another technique for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler uses a device 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 transfer containers. Regular 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 must be posted prominently in the cockpit and must never be exceeded.
