The operator must ensure that the forklift being used is capable of handling the weight of the container. Material Handling Equipment (MHE) - Container handler ANS:->> Usually identifiedby the manufacturer (TEREX, Super Stacker, KALMAR), container handlers move containers by lifting them at the corner fittings. Extreme caution must be exercised when working near container handlers due to the crushing hazard posed to personnel. Material Handling Equipment (MHE) - Container rotator ANS:->> Container rotators are used to gain access to all surfaces of a container, either for repairs or inspection.They allow the container to be rotated by hand once placed into the rotator. A forkliftor container handler is required to lift the container onto the rotator. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ANS:->> Depending on service, command orlocal work center requirements, some or all of the personal protective equipment (PPE) may be required when performing container
inspections: safety glasses, gloves, hard hat, steel-toed shoes, or high-visibility vest. Long straight edge ANS:->> A tautly-drawn wire, string, or other form of long straightedge is used to determine whether any portion of the container is bowed past the outside edges of the corner fittings. It's also used to determine if the container has been racked (twisted/warped) or if the floor crossmembers are bent. The string usedfor container inspections must be at least 40 feet long. Measuring tape ANS:->> A measuring tape or ruler is used to check dimensionaltolerances and container alignment. If a container is "racked," diagonal corner-to-corner wall measurements will not match each other. Measuring tapes used for container inspections must be at least 25 feet long. Welder's hammer ANS:->> A welder's hammer is used to remove slag from weld todetermine weld serviceability and to chip away at rusted structures to determine corrosive severity.
