Caterpillar Pneumatic Tire Forklifts Tennessee

Use a Pneumatic Forklift
Pneumatic forklifts are common in shipping and warehouse operations. Also known as pump trucks or pallet trucks, they are utilized to move things and materials around on wooden pallets using metal forks that are mounted on a wheeled counterweight. The counterweight has a pump which could lift the forks off the ground. A pallet truck is designed to be operated by a single person.

Pallet trucks must be operated carefully in order to prevent loss of control while raising heavy loads. Equipment should be checked prior to operating. Clear the wheels area of any obstacle. Check that the handle smoothly turns. The pallet should be carefully stacked to be able to ensure that nothing will fall off during transportation.

To lower the forks and release air in the pump, squeeze the lever found on the inside of the metal loop on the end of the pallet truck's handle. The forks can then be pushed into the slots of the pallet. The forks should be at the center to ensure equal distribution of the pallet's weight across them. Raise the forks from the ground by pumping the pneumatic lift's handle until the pallet has completely cleared the ground. Do not lift the pallet very high or the forklift could unbalance.

Pull on the handle and drag it behind you if you want to move the pallet. It is dangerous to push the pallet ahead of you as the momentum could cause it to go out of control. Take turns slowly and don't try to stop suddenly. Stop gradually, squeeze the lever, and the forks would lower to the ground. Lastly, remove the forks from the pallet by pulling them out. Return the pallet truck to its permanent place.
