Jungheinrich Reach Forklifts San Diego

There are actually a range of different mechanisms which lower or raise lifts on a forklift: scissors lifts, rack and pinion lifts, telescoping lifts, screw lifts and articulated lifts. Scissor lifts utilize crisscrossed folding supports and a screw mechanism used to draw the members together. Rack and pinion lifts utilize a pinion, that is a small drive gear, to drive a straight-toothed rack to raise the load. The telescoping lift system is made with many sections which extend and retract into and out of each other to attain lifting action. Screw lifts use threads to raise the lift. Articulated lifts utilize a mechanism involving multiple sections that unfold or articulate. An example of an articulated lift is the "cherry picker."



Lift truck Material Handling

In material handling methods, there are actually many reasons to keep up with changes. Material handling processes and the machinery can be used to handle more SKUs, increased geographical coverage, and the requirement to lower inventories. Machinery that are well ahead of the technological curve could help maximize production and increase effectiveness.



Lift truck Battery & Charging Technology

The decision to convert from conventional, internal combustion lift trucks to electric forklifts is a smart one as the newest line-ups of electric lift trucks provide higher capacities and longer run-times than ever before. Charger and battery combinations are offering a lot more power for much longer periods than older systems can achieve. Enhancements in both battery and charger technologies are not only making electric forklifts more productive but they are making it possible to have warehouse operations that are more environmentally friendly.



These new batteries are called Lithium-Ion Batteries or Li-ion batteries. This technology is still somewhat new, but Li-ion batteries show remarkable promise. They are not only smaller but are capable of holding up to six times the charge of standard lead acid batteries. Li-ion batteries have very low maintenance needs and are able to maximize opportunity charging through zero memory technology.
