An operating manual may classify the mast either by the lift mechanism, or by the number of mast "sections". Standard And Full Free Lift Forklifts The mast makes a big difference in the functionality of a forklift within a particular environment. The single mast elevates the inner mast section along with the load. It requires additional overhead space to allow for the channels of the mast to raise higher than the load.
This can be problematic in narrow aisles and tight quarters at lower forklift lift heights. Other types of forklifts, designed for use within restricted overhead spaces are called "full free lift" masts. They allow the forks to lift without raising the mast channels. These forklifts allow an operator to maneuver more easily in areas with limited available overhead space.
Typically, the necessity of placing a hydraulic mechanism in the center of a full free lift mast means an operator will not have as much visibility as they would in a standard forklift. This should be taken into consideration depending on the application, type of product being moved and general work requirements.
Today, forklift operators typically depend upon any one of four different forklift mast types. Manufacturers do not always use uniform terminology to refer to these components. One company may describe its masts in terms of the lift mechanisms, while another may base its descriptions of masts on the number of mast sections. Simplex Mast Usually these forklifts can lift loads only limited distances. For instance, they may lift cargo onto the back of a truck. From a simple lifting to station commuting, every mast type has features that expand the application selection of the lift truck or enhance performance further than one another.
Free lift is to extend a load over a load for double stacking which the carriage will rise before the inner channel starts stretching. This feature is for double stacking pallets in a trailer or even staging product in a warehouse.
Still, another feature that's a choice but is currently considered necessary to the majority of users will be the side shift. This feature allows movement of these forks put loads and to precisely pick into pallets. The hydraulic pistons are attached to the 2 main vertical structures called the "masts.
The height of the load will vary on the mast stage the forklift is equipped with. Duplex can be used when the free lift is demanded but lift elevation is a minimal demand. The shared free lift is within the field of 50". Truck power and maximum fork height dictate actual measurement. An average 2 stage mast for a forklift with a capacity of pounds.
To 6, lbs. Will have approximately " of greatest lift and will be approximately " Overall Height Lowered. Two-stage masts are typical in high capacity forklifts of 15, pounds.
