Used Clark Outdoor Forklifts Berkeley

Forklifts play an essential role within the distribution of goods. They could efficiently move product through the distribution process. Nonetheless, they must be used carefully. Improper operation of forklifts could cause injury to workers, damage to products, and serious accidents which can lead to death.

Safety
If you use a forklift properly, it is fairly safe. Tens of thousands of individuals are seriously injured in forklifts accidents each and every year. Dozens are killed in workplace accidents that involve forklifts. The tragedy is that the majority of these accidents are preventable with correct training and attention to safety.

Types of Equipment
Forklift operators should be trained on the specific type of forklift they would be using on the job. A popular kind used inside warehouse and distribution centers is the sit-down model. Other types of forklifts commonly used in industry consist of narrow aisle trucks, operator up units and rough terrain units.

Operator Requirements
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for forklift operators comprise certification involving both classroom study as well as practical evaluations. The three-year certification is not transferable; if switching employers, operators should become recertified.

Load Capacities
Standard forklifts have a load capacity of 1,800 kilograms to 2,200 kilograms. Higher load capacities up to and over 9,000 kilograms are available in several units. The load capacity of a forklift depends on the unit and its attachments and options.

History
Forklifts were first developed by Yale and by Clark, leading companies in the international forklift industry. Since the forklift was developed in the 1920s, it has undergone many technological changes, mostly leading to the efficient and safe movement of product and enhancements in operator safety.
