Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts Houston

The following add-ons are useful for narrow aisle lift trucks:

Side shift: Side shift is an option which allows the movement of the load laterally without having to move the model. This enables loads to be precisely positioned.



Tilt mast: The optional tilt mast allows the forks to shift both backwards and forwards. This is great in cases where loads aren't completely level. To be able to gain more stability when transporting a loaded truck, the mast can be tilted backwards.



Extendable forks: Extendable forks help the reach of a forklift to allow for the stacking of pallets one in front of the other. This is called double deep loading.



Operator platforms: Operator platforms enable some NA forklifts to raise and lower the operator while the forks are being raised or lowered. This offers utmost control and visibility while dealing with loads at heights of 6 m to 9 m.



Lift Truck on a Ramp

Forklift operators should be properly taught on the machines. They should be tested and qualified or certified. It is important for anybody using a forklift to be knowledgeable regarding safety rules and issues. Operators should understand how to make adjustments on uneven surfaces or in cases where the weight of the load changes the center of gravity. Safety rules cover safely utilizing a forklift on a ramp, that is frequently occurring because the operator will normally have to drive down and up ramps to load and unload containers.



Suggestions for Utilizing a Forklift on a Ramp

1 Drive at slow speeds when approaching a ramp and when driving down and up the ramp. The risk of mishaps is higher when driving fast as this could upset the equipment's center of gravity.

2 Drive the lift truck in reverse when moving up an incline on a ramp when not carrying a load.

3 Drive forward while moving down an incline on the ramp with no load.

4 Tilt the forks a little back to shift the center of the load to the equipment's front, while moving down or up a ramp while carrying a load.

5 In order to make the load more steady, drive forward up a ramp when carrying a load.
