Types of Forklifts

Forklifts are utilized to lift and move heavy loads, usually inside warehouses and construction sites. They are usually found in other manufacturing and material handling operations. There are different kinds of forklifts designed for various kinds of applications.

The way forklifts are powered is the main difference between them. Several use internal combustion motors and several are electrical powered. For carrying loads which are heavy whilst maintaining minimum operating costs, the best choice are normally electric forklifts. Electric forklifts are most often found in indoor work environments. For outdoor applications, internal combustion forklifts are generally recommended.

Types of forklifts are motorized drive, manual drive and fork trucks. Fork trucks are motorized and have cabs and backup alarms. Motorized drive forklifts usually have a protected seat for the operator. Manual drive forklifts are powered manually.

Some forklifts are counterbalanced to prevent tipping over. Other safety features consist of handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for certain applications. Like for instance, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work in extremely tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on surfaces which are rocky and uneven.
