Product Detail

Shanghai Metal Corporation is a professional manufacturer and supplier of Container fork rack with high quality and reasonable price.

Container fork is a specialized lifting equipment used for handling, loading, unloading, and stacking containers, commonly found in ports, docks, yards, logistics centers, and other scenarios. Its design purpose is to connect the bottom corner fitting of the container through fork teeth or hangers, achieving stable gripping and movement of the container.Through the standardization and efficient operation of container forks, the container turnover efficiency of the global logistics chain has been greatly improved, becoming an indispensable key equipment in the modern international freight system.

1) Standard: EN,GB

2) Certificate:CE

3)Speed increase: Empty box fork rack is about 15-25 meters/minute, heavy box fork rack is about 8-12 meters/minute

4)Anti drop lock: Ensure that the fork teeth are securely locked to the container corner pieces to prevent them from falling during operation.

5) Limit sensor: monitors the position and tilt angle of the fork frame to avoid overloading or misoperation.

6) Buffer device: reduces impact during loading and unloading, protects containers and equipment.

1)Ports and terminals: Cranes and gantry cranes use forks to complete container loading and unloading between ships and yards.

2)Container yard: Front cranes and stackers use forklifts to stack and transfer containers.

3)Logistics Center: Forklift forks are used for container disassembly and short distance handling.

4)Railway/road transportation: Container trucks and railway flatbed trucks load and unload containers quickly through forklifts.

Technical Information of Container Fork Rack:

Item	Details
Material	- Fork teeth: Usually made of high-strength alloy steel (e.g., manganese steel), which offers high wear resistance and impact resistance to withstand the stress of frequent loading/unloading operations.
Material	- Frame structure: Commonly constructed from high-quality carbon steel or low-alloy steel, joined by welding or bolts to ensure overall structural strength and stability. Some high-end fork frames may use lightweight and high-strength materials like aluminum alloy to reduce self-weight.
Dimensions	- Fork tooth length: Typically 2000–2440 mm, designed to fit the corner fitting spacing of different container sizes.
	- Fork frame width: Varies by application scenario and forklift type, generally 1500–2500 mm.
	- Overall height: Approximately 1000–1500 mm, including the raised height of the fork teeth and the frame itself.
Load Capacity	- Empty container fork frame: 5–10 tons.
Load Capacity	- Loaded container fork frame: 30–40 tons, matching the maximum load of containers (e.g., a 20-foot loaded container has a maximum gross weight of ~30.48 tons, so the corresponding fork frame must support at least 30 tons).
Strength	- Yield strength: The material’s yield strength is generally ≥300–600 MPa to ensure no permanent deformation under rated load.
	- Tensile strength: Typically ≥400–800 MPa to withstand tensile forces during loading/unloading.
	- Fatigue resistance: Special treatment and design enable it to withstand repeated loading, meeting the requirements of long-term frequent use.
Weight	- Small fork frames: Hundreds of kilograms to ~1 ton, suitable for small forklifts or empty container handling.
	- Medium fork frames: 1–3 tons, common in general container forklifts.
	- Large fork frames: 3–5+ tons, used in heavy-duty forklifts or special container handling scenarios.
Lifting Speed	- Empty container lifting speed: ~15–25 m/min.
Lifting Speed	- Loaded container lifting speed: ~8–12 m/min. Actual speeds may vary due to forklift power, hydraulic system performance, and cargo weight.
Accessories	- Connection components: High-strength bolts, nuts, pins, etc., for securing the fork teeth to the frame and the frame to the forklift.
	- Hydraulic components: Hydraulic cylinders, hoses, valves, etc., to control lifting, telescoping, and rotation.
	- Safety devices: Anti-detachment locks to prevent accidental disconnection from container corner fittings; limit sensors to monitor position and tilt angle; buffer devices to reduce impact during loading/unloading.
	- Lubrication components: Grease nipples, oil pipes, etc., for regular lubrication of moving joints and friction points to minimize wear.
