How to order forklift transportation?
Features of forklift transportation in Ukraine and Europe
Forklift trucks are machines characterised by their impressive size, especially their height, and their heavy weight. The weight of forklifts can range from 450 kg to 3 tonnes, especially in the case of long models, which always poses logistical challenges. Transporting such equipment requires maximum protection, not only to avoid damage to the equipment itself, but also to ensure the safety of other road users.
Transporting a forklift truck can be a challenging task, especially when these machines are typically used in confined spaces such as factory floors. Moving such equipment from one location to another can present a number of logistical and transport challenges.
For example, moving a forklift from a fleet to a factory in another location should be carried out by specialists with the necessary knowledge and experience.
How does JIT Trans transport forklift trucks?
Properly securing the forklift during transportation is critical to prevent damage and ensure safety. Here are the key aspects to consider when preparing your forklift for transportation:
- Level placement: The forklift should be placed on the trailer so that it is level and stationary. This ensures stability and reduces the risk of shifting.
- Securing the forklift: Use strong, secure lashing straps that are free of damage or wear to secure the forklift to the trailer. Ensure that all wheels are securely fastened and that the forklift is not able to move during transportation.
- Wheel immobilization: It is important to ensure that the wheels of the forklift are immobilized. For this purpose, special locks or other devices are used to prevent their rotation.
- Lowering the forklift carriage: Before transporting, lower the forklift carriage and pallet forks to the lowest possible position or remove them completely to lower the center of gravity and improve stability.
Following these steps carefully not only prevents the risk of damage to the forklift during transportation, but also ensures the safety of other road users.
Is it profitable to order a forklift transport?
The question often arises as to whether it is economically viable to hire a transport company to move a forklift truck rather than doing it yourself. It is not only necessary to compare the costs of the services, but also to consider the potential risks. As a rule, the cost of using a professional haulier such as JIT Trans is much more favourable, given the risks of possible loss in the case of professional repair and transport of equipment. Therefore, choosing a transport company for professional forklift transport is usually the best solution.
In addition, delegating responsibility for transport to a transport company also relieves you of the worry of possible damage due to inadequate safety measures.
