Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts San Francisco

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

Side shift: The side shift option permits the movement of the load laterally without having to move the truck. This enables loads to be positioned with much more accuracy.



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



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



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



Forklift on a Ramp

Operators have to be correctly trained and are required to be assessed and certified. It is very vital for anybody utilizing a forklift to be really knowledgeable regarding safety rules and concerns. Operators must understand how to adjust in situations where the load weight changes the center of gravity or on uneven surfaces. Safety measures cover the safe operation of a forklift on a ramp, that is a frequent occurrence as the operator would normally need to drive up and down ramps in order to load and unload containers.



Suggestions for Operating a Lift Truck on a Ramp

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

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

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

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

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