Forklift Truck Classification
For little under a century, the forklift truck has been working its magic. Even now, this particular piece of machinery is found in every warehouse operation all over the world.

Because of World War I, there were shortages of manpower which ed to the creation of the very first forklifts. Businesses like for instance Yale & Town and Clark introduced the material handling machine which utilized powered lift tractors inside their plants. During the year 1918, Clark saw the potential for these machines and began selling them.

From a simple tractor with an attachment, the forklift design evolved during the 1920s, to a dedicated equipment equipped with a vertical lifting mast. The forklift developed and became more advanced with World War II. The forklift played an essential part during this time in the handling of supplies for different armies throughout the world. It was also at this time that wooden pallets were introduced that solidified the need for the lift truck within the material handling business.

When World War II ended, the forklift gained momentum and continued to develop. During the 1950s, forklifts that utilize batteries made an appearance. There were other more specialized kinds of forklifts introduced such as the Narrow Aisle Reach truck. This type was made by the Raymond Corporation. In the 1960s and 1970s, improvements were made in the electronic controls area. This made forklifts much more versatile and companies were able to look at warehouse efficiency.

There are numerous options you could utilize to power a forklift nowadays. These comprise electric battery, diesel, gasoline, CNG or compressed natural gas, liquid propane gas or LPG. The very first hybrid forklift was developed by Mitsubishi. It currently operates on diesel battery and lithium ion. This kind utilizes 39% less fuel compared to existing models. Statistics show that its carbon dioxide emissions are about 14.6 tons less compared to those kinds of forklifts that are powered by internal combustion or IC engines.
