C7.1 Mobile equipment Flashcards
definition of mobile equipment
self propelled towed attached - mounted on mobile eqpmt to change its function pedestrian controlled remote controlled
lift truck types
counterbalance reach rough terrain telescopic materials handler side loading pedestrian controlled
counterbalance forklift rated capacity
max weight at max load centre
load centre
distance from heel of forks to centre of gravity of load
exceed = tips forward
reach lift truck
used in warehouses
work in narrow aisles
load retracted within wheel base = stable
reduced length v fork lift
rough terrain lift truck
like counterbalance fork lift diesel higher SWL enclosed cab higher chassis larger wheels
telescopic materials handler
front end forks
jib fitting = crane
telescopic boom
side loading truck
used for long loads
centre of gravity within wheel base
pedestrian controlled truck
restricted lift height operated by walking alongside use control handle battery power of hydraulic pump may be ride on
agricultural tractors
rough terrain unmade ground 2 or 4 wheel drive buckets / forks for load handling tow power take off shaft for other equipment
remotely controlled mobile eqpmt
mobile storage unit moving robot
remotely controlled narrow aisle storage & retrieval systems
mobile storage unit moving robot
proximity sensors
magnets in floor
pick up and lift storage units
remotely controlled narrow aisle storage & retrieval systems
store at height over 40 metres
no workers
interlock gates
entry systems
mobile equipment hazards
roll over overturn overbalance collision with vehicle, pedestrian, fixed object suitability for carrying passengers unauthorised start up safe operating station / platform excessive speed / fail to stop contact with wheels / tracks falling objects moving parts overheating fuel combustion gases stored energy, inc tyres
overturn causes
insecure load unstable load elevated load cornering speed uneven ground mechanical failure
