Kinds of Forklifts



Forklifts are used to carry and move loads that are heavy, normally within warehouses and construction sites. They are usually found in material handling and other manufacturing operations. There are different types of forklifts used for various types of applications.



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



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



In order to avoid tipping, some forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety factors comprise handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for certain applications. Like for instance, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work in very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on uneven and rocky surfaces.
