Kinds of forklifts:

A major consideration when purchasing a forklift is whether to opt for internal combustion, electric or hybrid. Each technology has its disadvantages and advantages. It is vital to be able to differentiate one kind of forklift from another and to select the right kind for the application. The following info can help you to choose the type of forklift which best fits all your needs.



The long-term cost savings is a main benefit of utilizing electric forklifts. The first expense to buy additional batteries might seem costly, but you save some money by not having to purchase fuel and transport it to the work location. If you use some kind of alternative source of energy, like for instance windmills or solar panels, you could save even more money.



The downside of electric is that changing out the batteries and downtime for charging the lift has to be factored in. This technology continues to get better as new methods of utilizing electric technology advances.



Variations on Forklifts:

Stand-up rider forklifts - Designed so that the operator rides inside the body of the truck, these electric-powered forklifts have counterbalance weights built into the body.



Stand-up, narrow aisle rider - Ideal for areas with tight spaces. Rather than having counterweight within its body, this electric forklift is made with straddle legs on every side to provide stability.



Sit-down rider - At the back of the sit-down-rider, you can find the counterbalance.



Motorized hand-pallet jacks - It is a low-lift truck which has forks and is made so that the operator could stand on the rear. Other models are designed to be walked.



Reach forklift - This kind of forklift has a boom for long reach. The forklift is made to be stable on surfaces which are uneven by having the outriggers at the front.
