10t Diesel Side loader truck with spread beam for sale

A 10 ton diesel side loadertruck with telescopic arm, lifting height of 3.6m, equipped with Japanese Isuzu engine.
The telescopic arm can be equipped with 4 forks, and the telescopic length of the fork can be controlled by adjusting the hydraulic rod.
It is suitable for the handling and lifting of long goods.

What are the operation precautions of side forklift truck?

Preoperation check

Check engine oil level, water level, fuel amount, etc., to ensure that the level is in the normal range.
For side forklifts equipped with Japanese Isuzu engines,
pay special attention to the quality and oil level of their engine oil,
because Isuzu engines have stricter requirements for oil.

Check the tire pressure and appearance to see if there is damage, cracks, etc.
Due to the heavy load of the side forklift,
the tire condition directly affects the stability and safety of the driving.

Check the hydraulic system of the telescopic arm,
including the hydraulic oil level and the oil pipe for leakage.
Check whether the fork is deformed or damaged,
and whether the fixing device of the fork is firm. If the fork is slightly deformed,
it may affect the handling stability of the goods; If the fixed device is loose, the fork may fall off during handling,
resulting in a serious accident.

Check the brake system to ensure that the brakes are sensitive and effective.
Due to the high center of gravity of side forklifts, a good braking system is essential for safe operation.

After starting the forklift, check whether the indicators on the instrument panel are normal,
including the oil pressure indicator and the water temperature indicator.

While driving

You must wear your seat belt when driving.
Because the side forklift truck may shake due to uneven ground and shift of center of gravity during driving and operation,
the safety belt can effectively protect the safety of the driver.

Control the speed of the vehicle, especially in areas such as turning and entering and leaving warehouses.
Because of its high center of gravity and large load, it is easy to roll over when driving at high speed.
When handling 10 tons of goods, it is more necessary to drive carefully to avoid sudden braking and sharp turns.

Maintain proper sight lines and pay attention to your surroundings.
Due to the structural characteristics of the side lift truck, there may be some blind spots in the operation,
and the driver needs to pay special attention to whether there are personnel or obstacles in the blind spots.

Operate the telescopic arm correctly according to the operating procedures.
When expanding the fork,
ensure that the hydraulic system works properly to avoid the sudden extension
or retraction of the fork causing the goods to fall.

When the hydraulic rod is used to adjust the expansion length of the fork to move long goods,
the operation process must be planned in advance to prevent the goods
from colliding with the forklift or surrounding objects.

Cargo handling operation

Make sure that the weight of the goods does not exceed the rated lifting weight of the forklift truck 10 tons.
Overload will seriously affect the stability and safety of the forklift, and may also damage the structure and components of the forklift.

Adjust the fork spacing to fit the size of the goods. For longer goods, when the fork is inserted into the bottom of the goods,
ensure that the fork is evenly distributed and can hold the goods smoothly.
When the lifting height reaches 3.6m, it is more important to pay attention to whether the center of gravity of the goods is stable.

Operate smoothly when lifting and lowering cargo.
Avoid sharp lifting and landing to prevent goods from falling or forklift tipping over.
Always pay attention to the state of the goods during the operation,
especially when lifting at a higher position, even a slight shake may cause the goods to lose balance.

When moving the goods, keep the center of gravity of the goods within the carrying range of the forklift.
For long cargo, pay special attention to its center of gravity position,
because the center of gravity deviation may cause the forklift to roll over during the driving process.

Parking precautions

Park the forklift on a flat, solid surface. If the ground tilts, the forklift may slide, especially when fully loaded.

Lower the telescopic arm and fork to the lowest position. This can reduce the center of gravity of the forklift,
increase stability, and prevent damage to the telescopic arm or fork caused by an accidental collision.

Tighten the handbrake, turn off the engine, and pull out the key.
Make sure the forklift is in a safe stopping position before you leave.
 
  
  
  
  

What are the advantages and disadvantages of side forklifts compared with other types of forklifts?

The following are the advantages and disadvantages of side forklifts compared to other common types of forklifts:

advantage

Suitable for handling long goods: the fork of the side forklift truck is located on the side of the body,
especially suitable for handling long goods, such as wood, steel, etc.,
the goods can be placed parallel to the body, not limited by the width of the channel,
which can effectively use space and improve handling efficiency.

Narrow channel operation advantages:
When the car body enters the channel, the fork can be directly facing the shelf or the cargo stack for loading and unloading operations,
there is no need to turn and then work like ordinary forklift trucks, so it is suitable for working in the narrow channel,
which can greatly save warehouse space and improve space utilization.

Good stability: Some side forklifts are equipped with jack cylinders under the loading platform.
When handling heavy loads and the position of the goods is high,
the jack can increase the stability of the entire vehicle and reduce the risk of the vehicle tipping over.

Strong customization: can be customized according to different operational needs, such as fork length, height, carrying capacity, etc.,
can better adapt to a variety of complex warehousing and logistics environments and different types of cargo handling needs.

Good field of view: When the driver is driving the side forklift truck, the field of view of the side fork and the goods is relatively good,
which is easy to accurately align the goods and shelves during operation, and improve the accuracy and safety of the operation.

shortcoming

Limited flexibility: Due to its structural design, the side forklift is less flexible than ordinary forklifts when turning and right-angle turns,
and requires more operating space to complete the turning and other actions,
which is not suitable for use in the environment where the space is narrow and frequent turning is required.

Uneven load distribution: the center of gravity of the side forklift truck is concentrated on one side of the body,
which is easy to lead to the uneven load distribution of the vehicle during the driving process,
which has a certain impact on the balance and stability of the vehicle,
especially when handling heavy or large center of gravity offset goods,
it is necessary to operate more carefully and carefully to prevent rollover accidents.

Limited cab space: Compared with some large counterweight forklifts, the cab space of side forklifts is usually small,
which may bring a certain sense of tightness to the driver, affecting the comfort of operation,
and long-term operation may make the driver more prone to fatigue.

High maintenance costs: the structure of the side forklift is relatively complex,
and its hydraulic system and other components are more precise than ordinary forklifts,
and the maintenance difficulty and cost are relatively high once there is a failure.
And because of its use scenario and operation characteristics,
the parts of the side forklift may wear out faster, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacement.

Limited operating scope: Although side forklifts have advantages in long cargo handling and narrow channel operations,
for some scenarios requiring frequent loading and unloading operations at different heights and angles,
such as stacking goods on high shelves,

their operating scope and flexibility may not be as good as professional storage forklifts such as forward forklifts
or high-driving three-way stacking forklifts.

How many loads can the fork of the side forklift carry?

Rated carrying capacity

The carrying weight of the fork mainly depends on the rated lifting weight of the forklift.
The rated lifting weight of the side lift truck you describe is 10 tons,
which means that in normal working conditions,
the fork should be able to safely carry no more than 10 tons of cargo.
This rated lifting weight is determined by considering the structural strength,
power system, tire carrying capacity, hydraulic system and many other factors.

For example, when handling dense metal materials (such as steel ingots) or large mechanical equipment parts,
ensure that the total weight of the goods is less than 10 tons. If this weight limit is exceeded,
it can cause damage to critical components such as the telescopic arm, frame, tires and hydraulic system of the forklift,
and greatly increases the risk of the forklift tipping over.

Actual bearing considerations

The position of the center of gravity of the cargo also affects the actual carrying capacity of the fork.
When the center of gravity of the goods is far away from the center of the fork,
even if the total weight of the goods does not reach 10 tons,
it may cause the forklift to lose balance. For side forklifts,
because the fork is on the side, the impact of this center of gravity shift is more obvious.

For example, if you are handling a long piece of wood with a heavy end (such as a burl), in this case,
you need to assess the center of gravity of the cargo more carefully,
you may need to adjust the placement of the cargo on the fork,
or you may need to take some balancing measures (such as the use of auxiliary support equipment)
to ensure that the forklift can safely handle the cargo.

The lifting height will also have a certain impact on the actual carrying capacity of the fork.
When the fork lift is higher, the stability of the forklift will decrease. Generally speaking,
when the lifting height is 3.6m, the stability of the forklift is worse than that of the fork at the lowest position,
so the weight of the goods should be properly reduced to ensure safety when handling the goods at the high lifting height.
