Kinds of Forklifts



Forklifts are used to carry and move heavy loads, normally in warehouses and construction sites. They are commonly found in material handling and other manufacturing operations. There are various types of forklifts utilized for different sorts of applications.



The main difference between forklifts is the way they are powered. Some use internal combustion motors and some are electrical powered. For carrying heavy loads whilst maintaining low operating expenses, electric forklifts are usually the best choice. Electric forklifts are commonly found in indoor work sites. For outdoor uses, internal combustion forklifts are usually recommended.



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



In order to avoid tipping, several forklifts are counterbalanced. Other safety factors include turntables or handrails. Specialty forklifts are available for specific applications. Like for instance, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work in very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on uneven and rocky surfaces.
