If your shipping department only loads out a few box trucks or semi-trailers per week, then you probably won't need a pricey forklift to accomplish the tasks. An inexpensive walkie-rider or walkie unit would be able to deal with the job if: A 4500 to 6000 pound capacity is adequate and you are not required to stack loads inside the trailer. Lastly, you must think about whether or not the transition from the dock floor to the dock leveler and into the trailer is not too jarring for the operator since the small load wheels must travel over the dock plate.
If your shipping facility is always loading trailers however, a stand-up end control unit could make more sense over a walkie-rider or a walkie model. These battery-powered forklifts fit into a standard one hundred eight inch trailer door easily. Their masts allow in-trailer stacking. These kinds of forklifts offer a model capacity range from 3000 to four thousand pounds.
For material handling needs, every business has a slightly different system. Some forklift operators would usually load and unload products in the shipping department as well as storing items on inventory racks, replenish the manufacturing line, handle the paperwork associated with the loads, attach and scan bar codes and other tasks. Normally, the forklift operators who are constantly on and off of their forklifts during their shifts find it a lot faster and less fatiguing to exit a stand-up control model, as opposed to a sit down type.
Make the time to read the owners handbook after acquiring a new forklift to help you familiarize yourself with the controls. The instruction manual would feature the specific location of every control and the functions it has. The majority of forklifts have two levers that control the forks. The first lever controls the fork height. In order to make the forks go down, the lever should be pushed forward. To be able to move the forks upwards, you simply pull back on the lever.
The forklift's second lever is used to tilt the forks allowing for better weight distribution across the forklift. This tilting action helps to keep items stable and won`t allow items to fall off when driving. In addition, it helps objects slide off while unloading in a more balanced method.
By pulling the second lever back, the forks will tilt back, when pushing the lever forward will tilt the forks forward. Various forklift models are equipped with a third lever that controls the fork width. Each one of these levers is located just to the right of the driver's seat.
