Used Caterpillar Container Forklift Chandler

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

Like all types of forklifts, a container forklift utilizes forks in order to raise the containers. Forks must be positioned to make certain the load is secure during transport. Several container forklift models are only designed to raise the containers a few meters off the ground. Other container handlers use another method for lifting containers to greater heights. A container handler uses an apparatus 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.

Carrying and transferring containers is the main purpose of a container forklift. Standard forklifts do not have sufficient reach for working in ports. The forks are rated according to the maximum weight they can handle. The forklift's capabilities should never be exceeded and should be posted prominently in the cockpit.
