A full container handler that is unequaled in lifting capacity and efficiency is referred to as a Caterpillar Container Handler.
By combining stability, modern technology and high performance, Caterpillar Container handlers are the best alternative for loading and unloading full containers. Container Handlers range from 24 tons to 43 tons. Options include 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 recommended for applications at construction sites and various environments where there is no paved surface. This particular type of forklift is used to transport materials around lumberyards.
These kinds of forklifts are truly designed for rough terrain. Nonetheless, the machine is top heavy and has to be handled carefully in rough places. The equipment should be level with all tires on the ground when lifting.
At higher speeds, steering is harder. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not set speed restrictions on forklifts. However, drivers are responsible for operating forklifts at a speed which is safe, particularly if driving on rough terrain and when turning.
To avoid tipping over, do not raise a load while operating on an incline. The load has to be on the uphill side of the equipment when driving up a slope. If driving down an incline, it is good safety practice to back down.
