Used Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts San Diego

Below are add-ons which are really useful for narrow aisle lift trucks:
Side shift: Side shift is an option that permits the lateral movement of the load without having to move the model. This allows loads to be positioned with much more accuracy.

Tilt mast: The optional tilt mast enables the forks to shift both forwards and backwards. This is perfect in cases where loads aren't completely level. To gain more stability when moving a loaded truck, the mast can be tilted back.

Extendable forks: Extendable forks help the reach of a lift truck to allow for the stacking of pallets one in front of the other. This is referred to as double deep loading.

Operator platforms: Operator platforms enable some NA forklifts to raise and lower the operator while the forks are being lowered or raised. This offers optimum control and visibility when dealing with loads at heights of 6 m to 9 m.

Lift Truck on a Ramp
Lift truck drivers must be well taught on the machines. They should be tested and qualified or certified. It is very important for anybody using a lift truck to be knowledgeable about safety rules and problems. Drivers should understand how to make adjustments on uneven surfaces or in cases where the weight of the load alters the center of gravity. Safety rules include the safe use of a lift truck on a ramp, which is a frequent occurrence since the operator will normally have to drive up and down ramps to unload and load containers.

Tips for Using a Forklift on a Ramp
1 Drive at slow speeds while approaching a ramp and while driving down and up the ramp. The risk 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 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 machine's front, while moving up or down a ramp when carrying a load.
5 Drive forward up a ramp when carrying a load to make the load more stable.
