Kinds of Forklifts
Forklifts are utilized to carry and transport loads that are heavy, usually inside warehouses and construction sites. They are normally found in material handling and other manufacturing operations. There are different kinds of forklifts designed for different types of applications.
The main difference between forklifts is the way they are powered. Several utilize internal combustion motors and several are electrical powered. For lifting heavy loads whilst maintaining low operating expenses, the best choice are usually electric forklifts. Electric forklifts are commonly found in indoor work sites. Internal combustion forklifts are recommended for outdoor applications.
Types of forklifts are motorized drive, manual drive and fork trucks. Fork trucks are motorized and have cabs and backup alarms. Motorized drive forklifts normally have a protected seat for the driver. Manual drive forklifts are manually powered.
Some forklifts are counterbalanced to be able to prevent tipping. Other safety features include turntables or handrails. Specialty forklifts are available for specific uses. For example, narrow aisle forklifts are designed to work in very tight spaces. Rough-terrain forklifts work well on surfaces which are rocky and uneven.
