Forklifts

A fork lift is a vehicle used for lifting and moving heavy objects. A good example of how a forklift is used can be found at grocery warehouses. Large palettes of products are pulled from the shelves, and a forklift is used to move them to lift and load them onto the trucks for delivery.

4 reasons why a forklift truck could tip over?

Forklifts can only tip 2 ways: Forwards or Sideways.

Main Causes of Sideways Tip-Over (Lateral Instability)

* Turning at speed * Turning with an elevated load * Turning on an incline * Driving over obstacles * Driving into potholes * Lifting a load while sideways on a slope

* Live loads * Lifting a load off centre * Incorrect use of the sideshift

Main Causes of Forwards Tip-Over (Longitudinal Instability)

* Overloading * Undercutting (Extended load centre) * Lifting with forward tilt on the mast * Harsh accelerating/braking * Rough use of the hydraulic controls * Travelling the wrong way on a slope * Live loads * Hitting overhead obstacles

What is undercutting with fork lift trucks?

An undercut is used when the load is lifted on the point of the forks rather than back at the heel (closest to the mast). This is done when the load is to be put down close to a wall or another item. If the load was heeled, the forks would be in the way and would either waste space or puncture the adjacent item. When undercutting, the maximum possible weight is reduced in the same way as you could lift a heavier item close to your body than at arms length.

Which is the best way to negotiate kerbs on a fork lift truck?

The only way is to find a curb cut and drive on it. If you drive a forklift straight across a curb you'll probably high-center it; if you approach at an angle you could overturn the machine. At an angle. The forklift isn't going to flip unless you slam into the incline going 11-12mph. Slow down and go at an angle and you will not get hung. Depending on the incline or weight of the freight, turn around and go in reverse due to 8,000+ lbs being on the back of the motor.Do not go straight on unless you have another lift to pull you off. I have a BA from Ole Miss and have been driving a lift all my life.Obviously you have to approach at ur own risk. Trying to drive along the side of a mountain isn't going to work

How do you obtain a forklift license?

Obtaining certification for forklift driving can be achieved one of two ways. First, if you work in a warehouse or other location where forklifts are being used, you may be able to get your license by taking the required tests that your employer offers. If your employer does not have a certified forklift trainer, or you are not currently in that particular line of work and would like to be, there are many websites with local facilities that can train and license you. Of course there is a fee to these companies, and I highly recommend that you research the company thoroughly before choosing their course as there are a lot of scams out there. I hope this information has helped you. Good luck, and happy researching!

How long does a forklift counterblance license last for in the UK?

First of all, a licence by it's very nature suggests an automatic entitlement to drive. What you are referring to is most probably a certificate.

A certificate should have no expiry date. The date you were trained or last tested along with the machine details are the important pieces of information and they don't expire.

Prospective employers may very well consider the certificate 'expired' if it does not comply with their refresher / test intervals.If you have not driven trucks for some time we would recommend that you sit a refresher/test to ensure you are still operating safely.

Are forklift propane tanks and BBQ propane tanks interchangeable?

No. Forklift LPG tanks have a dip tube to draw off liquid.

Propane engines feed off of propane liquid, and turn them into gasses through an internal engine component. While your traditional propane BBQ grill will feed off of vapors from the propane. Of course if you could change the valves this would be somewhat fixed, though you will be hard pressed to find a propane dealer to fill it. But the correct safety equipment would be in place to fill it (i.e. Fixed Liquid Level gauge). Replacing the valve and keeping the cylinder the upright position would allow you to use it, but by then it is basically going to cost you more than it's worth.

Always park the truck with the forks facing down the slope. Because of the heavy counter-weights in the main body of the truck, there is a much greater chance of the truck tipping with the forks facing upward. Very important while operating on the slope.
