Used Doosan Big Forklifts Berkeley

Size
Forklifts could lift really heavy objects since they have a counterweight on the rear of the forklift. The huge counterweight gives balance to the forklift so the machine doesn't tip over when raising heavy cargo. Forklifts are rated according to their load capacity. A small lift truck that could raise 1800 kilograms weighs about 4000 kilograms, which is equivalent to two full-size pickup trucks. The biggest forklifts can have up to 36,000 kilograms of lifting capacity.

Considerations
There are a lot of safety issues included in utilizing a forklift. When driving down a ramp, travel in reverse. If the load interferes with vision and is bulky, haul it in reverse. Operators should be familiar with how to mount the lift safely utilizing the "three-point stance." This involves placing the right hand on the back of the seat, while gripping the upright of the safety cage using the left hand and putting the left foot on the step. Never jump out of a lift truck even during a tip over. It is really much safer to remain inside the confines of the lift. Any fall or slip on a lift truck could lead to severe injuries.

Potential
In a lot of businesses, the lift truck is considered an indispensable because they are required to quickly raise and transport things, unload and load products safely and with little to no physical exertion. Pedestrian safety is a primary consideration when operating in public spaces. Operators should always give pedestrians the right-of-way. A lift truck must never be driven on uneven surfaces or on a highway. The driver must have a seat belt firmly fastened at all times when driving.
