Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Santa Maria

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

Like all kinds of forklifts, a container forklift uses forks to be able to raise the containers. Forks need to be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Various container forklift models are just designed to raise the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize another technique for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler makes use of a device attached 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.

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