Forklift trucks & industrial trucks

Forklift trucks and industrial trucks encompass all equipment used for the internal transport, stacking and order-picking of loads. The main categories are 4-wheel forklift trucks (counterbalance forklifts for heavy loads and outdoor use) and 3-wheel forklift trucks (compact, manoeuvrable, ideal for confined storage areas).

Classified by drive type: diesel forklift trucks for outdoor use and heavy loads, electric forklift trucks for emission-free indoor operation, and gas forklift trucks as a flexible compromise. Pallet trucks (manual and electric low-lift models) as well as reach trucks, reach stackers for high-bay warehouses and heavy-duty forklifts for special loads round off the range. Attachments for forklifts such as clamps, rotators and fork positioners extend the range of applications.

Leading manufacturers include Linde, Still, Toyota, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Hyundai, Mitsubishi Forklift and Komatsu Forklift.

Industrial trucks are used in warehouses and distribution centres, in production, in wholesale, at building yards, on loading bays, as well as in workshops and logistics centres.
