Jungheinrich Narrow Aisle Forklifts Tucson

The following add-ons are very helpful for narrow aisle forklifts:

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



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



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



Operator platforms: Several NA forklifts have operator platforms which can raise and lower the operator while simultaneously raising and lowering the lift truck's forks. This provides utmost visibility and control while dealing with loads at heights of 6 m to 9 m.



Forklift on a Ramp

Lift truck operators should be well trained on the machines. They should be tested and licensed or certified. It is very essential for anybody operating a forklift to be very knowledgeable about safety concerns and regulations. Operators have to understand how to make adjustments on uneven surfaces or in cases where the load weight alters the center of gravity. Safety rules cover safely using a forklift on a ramp, which is a frequent occurrence because the operator would typically have to drive up and down ramps to load and unload containers.



Guidelines for Utilizing a Lift Truck on a Ramp

1 While approaching and driving down and up the ramp, drive at slow speeds. The risk of accidents is higher when driving at high speeds because this could upset the machine'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 When moving down an incline on a ramp with no load, drive forward.

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

5 Drive forward up a ramp when carrying a load in order to make the load more steady.
