Types of Forklifts

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

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

Some forklifts are counterbalanced in order to avoid tipping over. Other safety factors consist of handrails or turntables. Specialty forklifts are available for particular applications. For example, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work within very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts are very helpful on surfaces that are uneven and rocky.
