Application of Forklift In Ports & Harbours

Counterbalance Forklifts: Efficient Handling Partners at Ports and Terminals

With their powerful performance, exceptional stability, and agile maneuverability, counterbalance forklifts have become essential equipment for short-distance cargo handling at ports and terminals. Designed to meet the demands of unloading containerized bulk cargo, bagged materials, and medium-sized palletized goods, their heavy-duty load capacity (typically 3-10 tons) and extended/reinforced fork designs effortlessly handle demanding workloads. The combination of a wide-view mast and anti-slip tires ensures safe operation on wet decks or uneven surfaces.

Diesel-powered models are built for all-weather outdoor terminal operations, delivering strong torque to quickly complete cargo consolidation, stacking (2-4 meter heights), and inter-zone transportation. Certain electric variants, with their low-noise and zero-emission advantages, serve near-shore storage areas. Equipped with windproof/water-resistant cabs and wear-resistant solid tires, counterbalance forklifts not only enhance port turnover efficiency but also significantly reduce labor costs—making them indispensable high-performance tools in the terminal logistics chain.
