Forklift trucks

Swedish family-owned sawmill AB Hilmer Andersson made a clear decision when it came to choosing its forklifts. Five Kalmar DCG140-6 machines offer high performance and productivity and a more comfortable environment for drivers. With our global reach and resources, and a strong foundation in the earliest forklift designs, TCM is a world-leading brand in material handling and innovation. Our forklifts offer maximum functional reliability even at -20 °C. They can be equipped with cold storage cabins and different types of windows as a configuration option. Our explosion-protection trucks are always from the current series, hardly differ from their conventional counterparts in terms of performance and design and offer the highest ergonomic standards.

These low-noise forklift trucks work best outdoors and can easily handle uneven surfaces. In narrow-aisle warehouses, the compact construction of our electric counterbalanced trucks will deliver the best performance. Thanks to the innovative 3-phase AC technology, they also offer impressive handling and throughput performance combined with minimal maintenance costs. We will gladly advise you and offer you a fitting solution to your requirements. Industrial Forklifts serve as very useful equipment at the construction sites, as it can be used to carry hefty building materials over long distances, across the rough terrain. It merges and balances the functions of a lifting tool and a vehicle.

Be it a compact electric model or a heavy duty counterbalance with a powerful combustion engine – you simply cannot go wrong with our ultra efficient forklift trucks. With our latest-generation electric forklift trucks, you get the best of both worlds – all the performance of a powerful diesel truck but without the emissions, noise and vibration. For outdoor use, we recommend all IC engine forklifts such as diesel and LPG forklifts. In general, electric motor-driven forklifts are less suitable for outdoor use because they place higher demands on ground clearance and protection against dust and dirt. However, Jungheinrich also develops electrically powered forklift trucks that can cope with outdoor use without any problems.

For details on the actual lifting height of the various forklift models, please refer to our technical product sheets. Advantages of IC engine-powered trucks include being able to deal with uneven floors and that they are ready for use at all times thanks to zero charging time. The disadvantages of IC engine-powered forklift trucks are higher operating costs, more noise and greater emission values, which is why they are usually only used outdoors. When it comes to drives, a fundamental distinction is made between forklift trucks with electric motors and with internal combustion engines. A forklift truck is a three-wheel or four-wheel industrial truck primarily used for the internal handling and transport of goods and merchandise. In contrast to simple, forklifts have their own drive and a mast, which not only allows loads to be picked up but also to be stacked.

Service technicians specially trained in explosion protection ensure that your explosion-protected truck remains fully operational for many years and passes all legally required tests with top marks. Furthermore, most electric-powered trucks generally require good floor conditions, especially in terms of ground clearance and protection against dust and dirt. However, Jungheinrich also develops and produces electrically powered trucks that are specially optimised for outdoor use. Our new listing service offers a private buying experience to help expand your equipment search. Before initiating the loading/unloading operation, the work area must be well-prepared.

If it is not meant for roller chain pulleys then forklifts would require much taller cylinders to lift up the load to an equivalent height. The lift handle is attached to an electrical air pump at the base of the forklift. Once the handle is pressed, it triggers the air pump that draws the outside air through a filter and forces it into a tube reaching to the hydraulic cylinders. Truck Frame is the most vital component which forms the base of the machine. All of the key components of the forklift including wheels, counterweight and mast are attached to the truck frame. Forklift consists of variety of components required to handle the task effectively.

Once the Tilt Handle is moved in forward direction, the air automatically fills up the chamber. The rise in pressure is enough to push the head of the piston and let the masts go away from the vehicle’s body. A hydraulic cylinder comprise of a hollow tube closed at one end with a flexible lubricated piston fitting into the other. Air gets entrapped through the base of the cylinder that allows gasses to enter without leaking them out.
