Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Santa Rosa

A container forklift is specially designed to unload and load big, heavy freight containers. They are used to shuttle freight on and off truck beds, trains and ships. Container forklifts are the most sturdy and biggest kinds of forklifts made. They have to be extremely maneuverable on uneven terrain and have enough torque and power to lift large containers safely. Typically, they have heavy-duty diesel engines and big 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 types of container forklifts are only designed to lift the containers several meters off the ground. Other container handlers utilize another method for carrying 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 sufficient 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 should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
