The forklift is the main carrier of goods in factories, warehouses, shops, outdoor areas. With the help of this equipment, loading and unloading of wagons and trucks, stacking of heavy objects, containers, equipment, etc. Today, thousands of different loaders work in various sectors of the Russian economy. They differ in a number of parameters, starting with the engine and ending with maneuverability. For each production cycle or logistics scheme, a technique with certain characteristics is required. Therefore, when choosing the most suitable model, experts recommend paying attention to several points.

  1. First of all, it is important to determine type loader. Today, the driving force for this technique are electric, diesel, gasoline and gas engines.The most popular of them were electric forklifts and models with diesel engines. And if the elements of electric transport are small premises, warehouses and shops, then diesel units are more in demand in open areas and in large factory workshops.
  2. The second criterion to look at is load capacity. This characteristic depends on the specifics of production. In some cases, a carrying capacity of 1.5-2.0 tons is enough, and sometimes even 5-ton monsters are powerless.
  3. Height lift. When loading and unloading, it is often necessary to lift the load very high. Most often, a height of 3 m is enough for effective work. But it happens that the racks have higher dimensions, and the loader must also match them.
  4. Performance is affected by factors such as maneuverability. Models that are able to turn around on a small patch are very much appreciated. It is often better to sacrifice cargo capacity by choosing a more nimble and faster assistant.
