A full container handler that is unequaled in lifting capacity and efficiency is referred to as a Caterpillar Container Handler.
By combining modern technology, high performance and stability, Caterpillar Container handlers are the best alternative for unloading and loading full containers. Container Handlers vary from 24 tons to 43 tons. Options consist of low-mounted cabin at the front or high-mounted in the middle for the excellent visibility and handling.
Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is best for applications at construction sites and different locations where there is no paved surface. This kind of forklift is used to transport materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly designed for rough terrain. However, the equipment is top heavy and has to be handled carefully in rough places. The equipment has to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more difficult at faster speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed limitations on forklifts. Then again, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed which is safe, specially if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
To prevent tipping over, do not lift a load whilst operating on an incline. The load must be on the machine's uphill drive if driving up an incline. When driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
