Kinds of Forklifts



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



The main difference between forklifts is the way they are powered. Several use internal combustion motors and some are electrical powered. For carrying loads that are heavy whilst maintaining low operating costs, the best choice are normally electric forklifts. Electric forklifts are normally found in indoor work sites. Internal combustion forklifts are recommended for outdoor applications.



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



To avoid tipping, some forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety features include handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for specific applications. Like for instance, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work within really tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on surfaces which are uneven and rocky.
