Types of Forklifts

Forklifts are used inside warehouse and construction environments to carry and move loads that are heavy. They are usually found in material handling and other manufacturing industries. There are various types of forklifts utilized for different kinds of applications.

The biggest difference between forklifts is the way they are powered. Several are electric powered and several use internal combustion motors. For lifting loads that are heavy whilst maintaining low operating expenses, electric forklifts are usually the best choice. Electric forklifts are usually found in indoor work environments. For outdoor applications, internal combustion forklifts are commonly recommended.

A motorized drive, manual drive and fork truck are the three kinds of forklifts. Fork trucks are motorized and have backup alarms and cabs. Motorized drive forklifts normally have a protected seat for the operator. Manual drive forklifts are powered manually.

To be able to prevent tipping, some forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety features include handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for particular applications. For instance, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work within very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts are really helpful on uneven and rocky surfaces.
