Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts Austin

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

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



Tilt mast: The tilt mast option allows the forks to shift backwards and forwards. This is perfect in situations where loads aren't completely level. In order to gain more stability while moving a truck which is loaded, the mast can be tilted back.



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: Several NA forklifts have operator platforms which can raise and lower the operator while at the same time lowering and raising the forklifts forks. This provides optimum visibility and control while handling cargo at heights of 6 m to 9 m.



Forklift on a Ramp

Operators have to be properly taught and should be tested and certified. It is very important for anybody using a lift truck to be very knowledgeable regarding safety issues and rules. Drivers must understand how to adjust in cases where the load weight changes the center of gravity or on uneven surfaces. Safety rules cover the safe use of a forklift on a ramp, which is frequently happening because the driver would usually have to drive down and up ramps to unload and load containers.



Suggestions for Utilizing a Forklift on a Ramp

1 Drive slowly while approaching a ramp and while driving down and up the ramp. The possibility of accidents is higher while driving at high speeds because this can upset the equipment's center of gravity.

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

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

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

5 To make the load more stable, drive forward up a ramp when carrying a load.
