Types of Forklifts

Forklifts are used to lift and move heavy loads, usually in warehouses and construction environments. They are usually found in material handling and other manufacturing operations. There are various types of forklifts used for various types of applications.

The way forklifts are powered is the main difference between them. Some utilize internal combustion motors and several are electrical powered. For carrying loads which are heavy while maintaining minimum operating costs, the best choice are usually electric forklifts. Electric forklifts are commonly found in indoor work environments. Internal combustion forklifts are recommended for outdoor applications.

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

To be able to prevent tipping, some forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety factors comprise handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for particular uses. For example, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work in extremely tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on rocky and uneven surfaces.
