Forklift Classifications

Below are the classes of forklifts which describe the application and fuel choice of each kind of forklift. Certification is needed for each and every class of forklift that the operator would be utilizing.



Class 1 - Electric Motor Rider Trucks

These forklifts come with either cushion or pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires are recommended for outdoor application in dry conditions. The models with cushion tires are designed for indoor surfaces which are smooth. These are electrically powered vehicles that utilize industrial batteries, which make them desirable inside closed environments where the quality of air is an issue. Travel and hoist functions are controlled by transistor motor controllers. These are versatile units usually utilized everywhere from the loading dock to the storage facility.



Class 2 - Electric Motor Narrow Aisle Trucks

This particular forklift is recommended for places where narrow aisles have to be negotiated. They are effective at maximizing the use of storage space. Their unique design makes them perfect where speed is needed and for small spaces.



Class 3 - Electric Motor Hand or Hand-Rider Trucks

These are battery-powered and hand-controlled models. Utilizing a steering tiller, the operator can operate the lift while standing in front of the truck. The tiller has controls mounted on top and is moved laterally to steer the vehicle. The smaller capacity units use industrial batteries.
