As the market for rough terrain lift trucks has emerged so has the need for straight mast lift trucks. Their emergence and demand has leveled over the last ten years because of the explosion of telescopic handlers. Presently, lift truck manufactures are focusing their product development on the forklift's core function.
These units for instance provide a lift capacity below 6,000 lbs have increased in price on average of 2.45% to around $46,000 per machinery. Other kinds of machines in the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Machine purchasers would rapidly point out only if their real costs are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel unit equipment have risen to more than 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag might not seem all that different, when the machine has left the sales yard and enters the work space of the client, it should produce on a large scale.
Over the past 10 years, the rough terrain forklift market has decreased because of the increase in telescopic-handler purchases. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this specific type of equipment is evolving to. The task of a telehandler is to place a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain lift truck continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
Omega is a multi-line maker who offers a whole array of rough-terrain lift truck families. They have established the Mega Series, that consist of of larger vertical-mast models. These models provide lifting capacities varying from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to enable lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was developed to do this job. The more complex and bigger equipment needed, the more specialized that OEMs such as Omega become.
