Caterpillar End Control Forklifts Houston

Forklifts are machinery which forklift drivers utilize to shuttle supplies from one location to another in warehouse and manufacturing environments. The machinery lifts pallets, also called skids, that are loaded with things. The lift truck is designed with forks which insert into the rungs of the pallet. Forklifts are also sometimes called Lift Trucks, Pallet Trucks, Skid Trucks, High/Low, Stacker-Trucks and Side Loaders.



The first forklifts were sold in the early part of the 1900s by companies like Yale & Towne Manufacturing and Clark. Nowadays nearly all supplies are delivered to warehouses and stores on pallets. Forklifts are usually found in manufacturing plants and warehouses, where they are used for the smooth operation of business.



The following are among the various types of pallet or skid lifts: Walkie low lift truck - with electrical motor; Rider low lift truck; Hand pallet truck; Towing tractor; IC counterbalanced truck; Sideloader; Telescopic handler; Rider stacker; Slip Sheet machine; Walkie stacker; Electric counterbalanced truck; Walkie Order Picking truck; Reach truck; Rider Order Picking truck - also referred to as "Order Picker"; Articulated Very Narrow Aisle Counterbalanced trucks - also called "Flexi Truck"; Truck Mounted Forklift / Sod Loader; Guided Very Narrow Aisle truck ; 'Man Down' - for narrow aisles; and 'Man Riser' Combination Order Picker/ Stacker truck



The articulated counterbalance truck is a type of counterbalanced forklift truck which is utilized for specialized applications. This particular hybrid is recommended for really narrow aisles because it could offload and onload within very tight spaces.



The Guided Very Narrow Aisle Trucks are capable of lifting as high as 12 meters, and even up to 30 meters if it is a "non top-tied" type. These trucks are available in man down and man-riser models. This equipment should be utilized only on floors which are flat and even.
