Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts Arlington

The following add-ons are useful for narrow aisle forklifts:

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



Tilt mast: The tilt mast option enables the forks to shift backwards and forwards. This is great in cases where loads aren't completely level. To gain greater stability when moving a truck which is loaded, the mast can 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, referred to as "double-deep" loading.



Operator platforms: Some NA lift trucks have operator platforms that could lower and raise the operator while simultaneously raising and lowering the forklifts forks. This provides optimum control and visibility when dealing with cargo at heights of 6 to 9 meters.



Forklift on a Ramp

Forklift drivers should be properly trained on the machinery. They are required to be tested and licensed or certified. It is important for anyone utilizing a lift truck to be very educated regarding safety problems and guidelines. Drivers should know how to make adjustments in cases where the weight of the load alters the center of gravity or on uneven surfaces. Safety measures cover safely using a lift truck on a ramp, which is always happening since the driver will typically have to drive down and up ramps to be able to load and unload containers.



Suggestions for Operating a Forklift on a Ramp

1 While approaching and driving up and down the ramp, drive at slow speeds. The risk of accidents is higher when driving at high speeds because this can upset the machine's center of gravity.

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

3 Drive forward when 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, when moving up or down a ramp when carrying a load.

5 To make the load more steady, drive forward up a ramp while carrying a load.
