You'll find few pieces of heavy machines that are as valuable or effective as a forklift for businesses and companies which have to transport heavy supplies and objects. Lift trucks are a popular site in dockyards, manufacturing plants, lumber yards, distribution depots, warehouses and shipping and receiving, agriculture and other work places that need to deal with loads ranging from 3000 to 30,000 plus lbs.

Fork trucks are usually utilized to keep these operations working efficiently and smoothly. Even though lift trucks are a large investment, the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting and the amount of man hours they can save can make the purchase pay for itself eventually.

There are many different models and manufacturers of lift trucks on the market. Different models are designed to accomplish different jobs. So as to make sure that you don't purchase more than you need or the wrong type of equipment, it is important to assess your company's needs and compare to the various units on the market. Talking to a certified forklift distributor is a very good idea and so is doing your own research on the World Wide Web.

When looking at lift trucks by fuel type, the following types are available:

Electric: Electric forklifts use heavy, large, rechargeable batteries that are lead-acid based. These batteries could run for roughly 5 or 6 hours straight. Electric models are ideal for indoor applications due to their lack of emissions. They are a popular choice for retail spaces and warehouses because they provide a relatively low cost per hour of operation and put zero emissions into the air where people are working.

Internal Combustion: The IC engine works on a variety of different fuels such as CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, LP or liquid propane or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the internal combustion or IC models could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These models are usually more expensive to utilize than their electric counterparts.

Fuel Cell: Hydrogen fuel cell lift trucks are the newest in forklift technology. These models provide the fast refueling capability of an IC model but offer the quietness and zero emissions of electric forklifts.

There are a range of outdoor Nissan models which offer synchronized steering. This specific feature returns the wheel knob to the original position automatically following the completion of a turn. Outfitted with solid pneumatic tires to provide a comfortable ride both outdoors and indoors, these tires are more resistant to wear and damage.
