Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts Houston

Here are add-ons that are useful for narrow aisle forklifts:

Side shift: Side shift is an option that allows the lateral movement of the load without having to move the unit. This enables loads to be placed with much more accuracy.



Tilt mast: The tilt mast option allows the forks to shift backwards and forwards. This is great in situations where loads aren't entirely level. To gain more stability when moving a truck which is loaded, the mast could be tilted backwards.



Extendable forks: The option of extendable forks helps the "reach" of the lift truck to extend for stacking pallets one in front of the other, known as "double-deep" loading.



Operator platforms: Some NA forklifts have operator platforms which can lower and raise the operator while at the same time raising and lowering the forklifts forks. This offers utmost control and visibility when dealing with loads at heights of 6 m to 9 m.



Lift Truck on a Ramp

Drivers have to be correctly trained and must be tested and certified. It is essential for anybody operating a lift truck to be knowledgeable about safety problems and regulations. Drivers need to know how to adjust on uneven surfaces or in cases where the weight of the load alters the center of gravity. Safety measures include safely using a forklift on a ramp, which is a frequent happening since the driver will usually need to drive up and down ramps to be able to unload and load containers.



Guidelines for Using a Lift Truck on a Ramp

1 When approaching and driving up and down the ramp, drive slowly. The risk of mishaps is higher while driving at high speeds because this could upset the machine's center of gravity.

2 While not carrying a load, drive the forklift in reverse while moving up an incline on a ramp.

3 When moving down an incline on a ramp with no load, drive forward.

4 While moving down or up a ramp while carrying a load, tilt the forks back a little to shift the load's center nearer the front of the machinery.

5 Drive forward up a ramp while carrying a load to make the load more steady.
