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.

5
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.

6
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

15
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.

16
CLASSES OF LEVERS
17
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.

18
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.

19
STABILITY TRIANGLE

• Almost all counterbalanced powered industrial
  trucks have a three-point 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.

32
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
