Here are add-ons which are useful for narrow aisle forklifts:
Side shift: Side shift is an option that permits the movement of the load laterally without having to move the model. This enables loads to be positioned with a lot more accuracy.
Tilt mast: The optional tilt mast enables the forks to shift both forwards and backwards. This is recommended in cases where loads aren't completely level. To be able to gain greater stability while transporting a truck that is loaded, the mast could be tilted backwards.
Extendable forks: The option of extendable forks helps the "reach" of the forklift to extend for stacking pallets one in front of the other, known as "double-deep" loading.
Operator platforms: Operator platforms enable some NA lift trucks to raise and lower the operator whilst the forks are being lowered or raised. This provides utmost control and visibility when handling cargo at heights of 6 m to 9 m.
Forklift on a Ramp
Forklift operators must be properly taught on the machines. They should be assessed and qualified or certified. It is really essential for anybody using a forklift to be knowledgeable about safety problems and regulations. Operators must understand how to adjust in situations where the weight of the load alters the center of gravity or on uneven surfaces. Safety rules cover the safe use of a lift truck on a ramp, which is always occurring since the operator would usually need to drive down and up ramps in order to unload and load containers.
Tips for Operating a Forklift on a Ramp
1 When approaching and driving up and down the ramp, drive slowly. The possibility of mishaps is higher while driving fast because this could upset the machine's center of gravity.
2 While not carrying a load, drive the forklift in reverse while moving up an incline on a ramp.
3 Drive forward when moving down an incline on the ramp with no load.
4 Tilt the forks a little back to shift the center of the load to the equipment's front, when moving down or up a ramp when carrying a load.
5 In order to make the load more steady, drive forward up a ramp while carrying a load.
