Different types of forklifts available

If you’re in the market for a forklift, you may be wondering which type is right for you. There are many different types of forklifts available, each with its own unique set of benefits and drawbacks. Different types of forklifts include counterbalance forklifts, articulated forklifts, multi-directional forklifts, telehandlers, stackers. We’ll help you decide which type of forklift is best for your needs!

Counterbalance forklifts are the most common type of forklift. They have a weight at the back of the machine that helps to balance the load, making them ideal for lifting heavy loads.

Articulated forklifts have a joint in the middle of the machine, allowing them to turn in tight spaces, perfect for warehouses that have narrow aisles, in fact they are also referred to as VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) forklifts.

Multi-directional forklifts are similar to articulated forklifts, but they have four wheels instead of two. This makes them even more manoeuvrable, perfect for very tight spaces.

Telehandlers are a type of forklift that can extend and retract its forks, allowing it to lift loads to great heights – perfect for construction sites!

Stackers are a type of forklift that is designed for lifting and stacking pallets. They have a set of forks at the front of the machine and a set of wheels at the back, making them very stable when lifting heavy loads.

Multiple fuel types available

Forklifts also come in a range of fuel options, diesel forklifts, electric forklifts and LPG models are available.

Diesel forklifts are the most powerful, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications, however, they can be more expensive to operate than electric or LPG models.

Electric forklifts are becoming increasingly popular as they are more environmentally friendly than diesel or LPG models. They are also very quiet, making them ideal for use indoors, they also don’t emit exhaust fumes making them perfect for indoor operations.

LPG forklifts run on liquefied petroleum gas, making them a more cost-effective option than diesel models. They are also less harmful to the environment than petrol or diesel forklifts.
