Pallet Truck
A pallet truck also referred to as a pallet jack or pump truck is a used to lift and shift pallets. There are two types of pallet jacks namely, manual pallet jack and powered pallet jack. A manual pallet jack, as the name suggests, is powered and handled manually. On the other hand, powered pallet jacks are mechanically powered and are used for lifting and moving heavier pallets. Just like a forklift and a front ladder, a pallet truck is used to lift and transport goods. Like all mechanical instruments, a pallet truck has operational limitations. The reversible pallets cannot be utilised. The irreversible double-faced pallets cannot have deckboards where the wheels that are in front extend to the ground. In case of a pallet with a four-way notched-stringer, the two-way entry is only enabled because the notches cannot be inserted with the forks.
Stacker
A stacker is a big machine which is used in handling bulk material applications. The main function of a stacker is to stack bulk material such cereals and ores onto a stockpile. Another machine called the reclaimer is used to recover the material. A stacker is normally rated in tph (tonnes per hours) for capacity and usually travels on a rail between stockpiles in the stockyard. A stacker usually moves in at least two directions which are, vertically and horizontally. A stacker is normally used to stack into different patterns such as chevron stacking and cone stacking. Size segregation is caused by stacking in a single cone because of coarser material which moves out towards the base. When additional cones are added to the first one, it is known as raw cone ply stacking and when the stacker travels along the length of the stockpile adding layer after layer of material, it is called chevron stacking. A stacker truck, like a forklift, is a power-driven industrial truck which is used to lift and transport materials.
Scissor Lift
An elevating work platform or an aerial device is a motorized device which is used to provide transitory access for people or equipment to remote or inaccessible areas, usually at height. These two different types of mechanical access platforms may also be known as a "cherry picker" or "zoom boom" (both local terms for aerial device) or "scissor lift" which is the general North American term for elevating work platform. They are normally used for short-term, flexible access purposes such as preservation and manufacture work or by firefighters for emergency access, which distinguishes them from permanent access equipment such as elevators. The scissor lift is designed to lift limited weights which are usually less than a ton, although some have a superior safe working load (SWL), which also distinguishes them from most types of cranes. They are usually capable of being wholly operated (including setup) by a single person. Apart from the given task a scissor lift is used for, aerial work platforms, may provide added features beyond transport and access, including being equipped with electrical outlets or compressed air connectors for power tools. They may also be equipped with professional equipment, such as carrying frames for window glass. A scissor lift, like a forklift, is a power-driven industrial truck which is used to lift and transport materials.
Forklift
A forklift also referred to as a life truck, stacker-truck, fork hoist and trailer loader, is a power-driven industrial truck which is used to lift and transport materials. Manufacturing companies such as Clark, the transmission manufacturing corporation and Yale & Towne Manufacturing Corporation, the hoist company, developed the modern forklift in the 1920s. Since then, the forklift has become an essential equipment piece in warehousing and manufacturing operations. There is a variety of forklift trucks and they differ in load capacities. Most forklifts which are used in warehouses have load capacities ranging from one to five tons. Larger machines which have life capacity of up to 50 tons lift heavier loads such as shipping containers. The maximum load along with its forward centre of gravity determines the load factor of the forklifts. It is mentioned in the nameplate by the manufacturer. An important feature of the forklift truck is its volatility. Forklift trucks come with a very important and special operation, rear-wheel steering. This helps in manoeuvring even in tight corner situations. The operator can also manage the blade angles according to the load. This prevents the load from slipping. Forklift trucks have various safety standards across the world. ANSI B56 is the standard maintained by the American National Standards Institute and the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation.
