Kinds of Forklifts



Forklifts are utilized to lift and transport heavy loads, normally in warehouses and construction environments. They are usually found in material handling and other manufacturing industries. There are various kinds of forklifts designed for various types of applications.



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



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



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