Daewoo Diesel Forklifts San Jose

Within the material handling industry, the forklift has become a key piece of machine. This machinery is also referred to as a forklift or a powered industrial truck and is able to move heavy loads and materials. These types of trucks revolutionized the manufacturing and the warehousing industries. Nowadays they are used for a wide variety of applications and are considered to be vital for material handling.



A forklift is a piece of equipment which is driven by an operator who utilizes the truck to transport cargo around a warehouse or worksite. Businesses which own their own lift trucks must maintain the machinery to make sure they have a long lifespan. Similar to any equipment components, lift truck parts, are subject to wear and tear and will eventually become worn. In order to ensure the forklift works in an efficient and safe manner, you should occasionally replace damaged or worn components. Each forklift truck part is made for a specific purpose. Below is a list of a few forklift attachments and their purposes:



Forklift Fork Positioner: The hydraulic attachment called forklift fork positioner helps to position the forks. Forks can move both separately or simultaneously. Without the forklift fork positioner, the forklift operator should manually adjust forklift forks for various sizes of cargo.



Side Shifter: The side shifter is a hydraulic attachment that allows the lift truck operator to laterally shift both the backrest and the forklift forks. This attachment makes it really easier to position the load without having to change the truck's position.



Pole Attachments: Pole attachments are long metal poles used specifically to lift carpet rolls. The poles work better for this purpose compared to forklift forks.



Telescopic Forklift Forks: Telescopic forklift forks are hydraulic attachments that enables the operator to load and unload from a single side by handling two pallets of different sizes at the same time. This kind of attachment is recommended for handling pallets in 'double deep racking'.
