![]() ![]() Depending on the working conditions there are different options and models of rough terrain forklift trucks. The rough terrain forklift is a 4×4 all-wheel drive counterbalanced truck built and designed to work outdoors and in difficult rough terrain. More information about forklift attachments can be found in Forklift. A wide range of attachments turns any forklift into a versatile all-rounder material handling equipment. This design allows the masts to extend hydraulically to two or three times its length allowing for loading levels to between four and seven metres. The mast can be constructed as a duplex (two stages) or triplex (three stages). The height of the truck is determined by the nature of their mast. In general the capacity of internal combustion forklifts is higher than that of electric forklifts. Forklifts have a lifting bearing load from 1 ton to 8 tons. A 4 wheel fork truck can take a higher load capacity and offer offer more stability, while a 3 wheel forklift truck can work better in tighter spaces and has an extremely high level of maneuverability. A distinction is made between the 3 wheel and the 4 wheel electric truck types, which have both an electric engine and tend to be one metre wide. ![]() Rear-wheel steering is easy to handle and manoeuvre while front loaders are ideal for working in narrow aisles and warehouses. ![]() The engines are located towards the front of truck under the driver’s seat to ensure low centre of gravity and provide more stability to the truck while driving and stacking. For use outdoors large forklifts often have a closed cabin to operate regardless of weather conditions. The maximum height should not exceed 2 metres therefore the driver’s seat is normally an open seat or a cabin with a steel frame. The front driver’s seat is behind the mast. On the other hand, internal combustion trucks, petrol or diesel engine forklifts, are more frequently used for outdoors. For example, low noise and zero emission electric trucks are used mainly indoors and warehouses. Counterbalance forklifts can be used for all possible applications and in many different ways. This forklift enables the lifting, transportation and stacking of goods. This is accomplished through a series of nested rails and hydraulic lift cylinders and chains to raise the upright in “stages”.Counterbalance forklifts, also known as a forkift trucks, fork trucks or forklifts, are the most common type of material handling equipment and are characterised by a lifting unit, which consists of a mast and, typically, a forklift fork with 1.2 metres distance between the forks. ![]() Uprights are designed to allow a vehicle to pass through doorways or trailers with the upright in the collapsed position while still being able to reach loads in warehouse racking. Forks- A solid steel implement that rides on a carriage used for lifting loads.The forks also mount to this along with other attachments. Carriage- This is the solid steel frame that raises and lowers in the upright.Lift chain and anchors- These are used in combination with the lift cylinders and the upright rails to raise and lower the upright.Nested Rails/Channels- These allow the upright to extend up to its maximum fork height (MFH) and down to its lowered position or collapsed height.The basic structure of the upright consists of: ![]()
