A type of device in the material handling business which could be utilized to lift and move loads from one place to another is known as a forklift. Every forklift component has a specific function. Different parts could be utilized to transport the load vertically or horizontally.
Mast
The forklift mast refers to all the components that lower and lift the load. There are various kinds of masts for raising loads to different heights: simplex, duplex, triplex and quad.
Power Supply
Forklifts have four different ways of being powered: gas, electric, diesel and propane. The battery is situated in the cab underneath the seat. The propane tank is on the rear of the truck. The fuel tank on diesel and gas forklifts is under the rear of the truck.
Cab
Positioned in the center of the truck is the forklift cab. This is where the operator sits and accesses all the controls and informational gauges. The gas pedal, steering wheel, tilting controls, brake and lifting controls are all located inside the cab.
Frame
Carrying all the largest forklift components is the truck frame. This consists of the counterweights situated at the rear that prevents the truck from tipping over when loaded. The frame includes the overhead guard which protects the operator. The undercarriage holds the wheels, driveshaft and axles.
