Kinds of Forklifts

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

The way forklifts are powered is the biggest difference between them. Several are electric powered and several utilize internal combustion motors. For carrying heavy loads while maintaining low operating expenses, electric forklifts are generally the best choice. Electric forklifts are normally found in indoor work sites. 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 cabs and backup alarms. Motorized drive forklifts normally have a protected seat for the driver. Manual drive forklifts are powered manually.

In order to avoid tipping, several forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety factors consist of turntables or handrails. Specialty forklifts are available for specific uses. Like for example, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work within very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on surfaces which are uneven and rocky.
