    MATERIAL HANDLING

    Material Handling is the movement, storage, control and


    protection of materials, goods and products

    Material handling equipment is used to increase throughput,


    control costs, and maximize productivity.

    Everything we eat or wear, and we use has, at some stage, been


    stored and handled by materials handling equipment.

    FORKLIFT TRUCKS

    FORKLIFT TRUCK - A MHE or a Powered industrial truck


    used to lift and transport materials.

    They are a prime part of any industry.

    They are different from other MHEs.

    They have rear wheel steering.

    HISTORY

    First used in 1800s as SACK TRUCKS.

    Powered truck came into being in the early 20th century.

    These trucks became popular due to the shortage of labour in


    WW-I.

    CLARK first gave the counter balanced truck in 1917, YALE


    produced the first electric truck in 1925.

    Post WW-II, Warehouses needed more maneuverable forklift


    trucks with higher demands.

    Soon many types of trucks came into existence to meet these


    demands.

    WORKING

    Working can be understood through the four main systems of


    a forklift truck
    Transmission System
    Steering System
    Hydraulic System
    Electrical System

    FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES
    THE LEVER

    Lever: It is one of the simplest mechanical devices. However, a


    lever by itself is not effective. It must have something on to pivot.
    This pivot is called a fulcrum.

    Law of Equilibrium: The effort multiplied by its distance from


    the fulcrum equals the load multiplied by its distance from the
    fulcrum. This law of equilibrium is true for all classes of levers.

    CLASSES OF
    LEVERS

    CENTRE OF GRAVITY

    It is the point on an object at which all of the objects weight is


    concentrated. For symmetrical loads, the center of gravity is at
    the middle of the load.

    FORKLIFT STABILITY

    A forklift trucks ability to stay


    upright while it is in motion is its
    stability.

    It is the most important aspect to


    avoid accidents.

    The lateral stability of a truck


    changes depending on how high
    the load is lifted to.

    The rated lift capacity is reduced


    at increased lifting height.

    STABILITY TRIANGLE

    Almost all counterbalanced powered industrial trucks have a threepoint suspension system.

    The triangle formed between points A, B, and C is called the Stability


    Triangle.

    The truck will not tip over as long as the center of gravity(C.G.)
    remains inside the triangle.

    FUTURE PROSPECT

    Logistics is growing very fast in India

    The new age hybrid engine driven forklift trucks have been
    already designed and developed in some parts of the world.

    Bright careers prospects in this field in INDIA.

    CONCLUSION

    FORKLIFT TRUCKS play a major role in the industries.

    FORKLIFT TRUCKS aid the industries to attain high


    productivity and achieve cost optimization.

    INDIA has a bright future in material handling.

    The knowledge about FORKLIFT TRUCKS is necessary.

    Thus my intention has been to provide you with the overview


    of the fundamentals of FORKLIFT TRUCKS
