Types of forklifts:

A major consideration when buying a forklift is whether to opt for electric, hybrid or internal combustion. Each technology has its advantages and disadvantages. It is very vital to distinguish one type of forklift from another and to select the right type for the application. The following information can help you to pick the forklift that best fits your requirements.



A major benefit of electric is long-term cost savings. The initial outlay to purchase spare batteries may seem costly, but you save some money by not having to purchase fuel and bring it to the work site. If you use some kind of alternative source of energy, such as windmills or solar panels, you can save even more money.



The downtime for charging the lift and changing out the batteries are among the downsides of utilizing electric forklifts. This technology continues to improve as new methods of using electric technology advances.



Variations on Forklifts:

Stand-up rider forklifts - These electric-powered forklifts have counterbalance weights constructed into the body and are designed so that the driver rides within the body of the truck.



Stand-up, narrow aisle rider - The kind usually used for areas with tight spaces. Rather than having counterweight within its body, this electric forklift is designed with straddle legs on every side to provide stability.



Sit-down rider - At the rear of the sit-down-rider, you can find the counterbalance.



Motorized hand-pallet jacks - This low-lift truck has forks and is made for the driver to stand on the rear. Other models are designed to be walked.



Reach forklift - This type of forklift has a boom for long reach. The forklift is made to be stable on uneven surfaces by having the outriggers at the front.
