Forklift Classifications

The following forklift classes describe the use and fuel choice of every forklift. Certification is required for each and every class of forklift that the operator will be using.



Class 1 - Electric Motor Rider Trucks

These forklifts come with either cushion or pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires are suggested during dry conditions for outdoor application. The cushion tired models are made for smooth, indoor surfaces. These are electrically powered vehicles that make use of industrial batteries, which make them suitable within closed locations where the quality of air is an issue. Travel and hoist functions are controlled by transistor motor controllers. These are versatile units usually used everywhere from storage facility to the loading dock.



Class 2 - Electric Motor Narrow Aisle Trucks

For the type of location where narrow aisles must be negotiated, this specific type of forklift is suitable. They are effective at maximizing the use of storage space. Their unique design makes them perfect where speed is needed and for small spaces.



Class 3 - Electric Motor Hand or Hand-Rider Trucks

These hand-controlled, battery-powered models are designed for the operator to stand in front of the truck and control the lift utilizing a steering tiller. The tiller has controls mounted on top and is moved laterally to maneuver the vehicle. The smaller capacity units utilize industrial batteries.
