Forklifts
Differ from straight or vertical-mast forklifts in
that they consist of a multiple- sectioned boom that can be lowered to
pick up a load, and then raised and telescoped to the height of the
working area where the load is placed. Empty pallets or containers to be
replenished are retrieved in the opposite manner
they are designed for the rough-terrain environments found in
construction sites. The machines are designed with large tires, four
wheel drive, powershift transmissions with three forward and reverse
speeds and multiple steering modes (two wheel, four wheel and crab). In
addition, the vehicles frame can be tilted left or right to level the
vehicle and its load. The boom is equipped with automatic fork-leveling,
which keeps the load level to the ground when raising or lowering and
extending or retracting the boom. |
