For businesses that lift and transport heavy supplies and merchandise regularly, there is probably no more valuable or effective machine as the lift truck. Forklifts are a popular site in dockyards, manufacturing plants, distribution depots, lumber yards, agriculture, warehouses, shipping and receiving and other work places which need to deal with loads ranging from 3000 to 30,000 plus pounds.

The forklift is used most often to keep the flow of operations working as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Though forklifts are a huge investment, the amount of man hours they could save and the injuries they reduce from heavy lifting can make the purchase pay for itself eventually.

There are numerous different units and manufacturers of forklifts on the market. Different units are designed to accomplish various jobs. In order to make sure that you don't purchase the wrong kind of machinery or buy more than you need, it is essential to evaluate the needs of your business and compare to the various units available on the market. Speaking with a certified forklift distributor is a very great idea and so is doing your own research online.

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

Electric: The electric forklift is run by lead-acid based rechargeable batteries. These large and heavy batteries could run a machine for more than 5 or 6 straight hours. Electric units are best suited for indoor applications due to their lack of emissions. They are a common alternative for retail spaces and warehouses since they put zero emissions into the air where people are working and provide a fairly low cost per hour of operation.

Internal Combustion: IC lift trucks work with a variety of fuels. Some models take CNG or compressed natural gas, others take diesel, liquid propane or LP or gasoline. When compared to electric forklifts, the IC or internal combustion units could carry heavier loads, are easier to refuel and accelerate faster. These units are normally more pricey to operate than their electric counterparts.

Fuel Cell: The newest in forklift technology is the Hydrogen fuel cell. These units provide the quietness and zero emissions of electric lift trucks but provide the fast refueling capability of an IC unit.

Nissan's outdoor units would provide synchronized steering. This specific feature automatically returns the wheel knob to the original position after completing a turn. Outfitted with solid pneumatic tires to provide a comfortable ride both outdoors and indoors, these tires are more resistant to damage and wear.
