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 loading and unloading full containers. Container Handlers vary from 24 tons to 43 tons. Options comprise high-mounted cabin in the middle or low-mounted cabin at the front for the excellent handling and visibility.
Rough Terrain Forklift
The rough terrain forklift is recommended for applications at construction sites and other environments where there is no paved surface. This kind of forklift is used to transport materials around lumberyards.
These types of forklifts are truly meant for rough terrain. Nevertheless, the machinery is top heavy and has to be carefully handled in rough locations. The equipment needs to be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
Steering is more challenging at higher speeds. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed restrictions on forklifts. Nevertheless, operators are responsible for operating forklifts at a safe speed, specially when turning and driving on rough terrain.
To avoid tipping over, never lift a load while operating on an incline. The load has to be on the uphill side of the machine when driving up a slope. If driving down an incline, backing down is a good safety practice.
