More Advanced Specialty Forklift Hire
The first modern forklift truck was designed and created in the 1920s by a number of companies such as Clark, and Yale and Towne Manufacturing. Since then forklift trucks have become key pieces of machinery within many businesses and industries. Due to this demand there is a large need for forklift hire companies to supply these companies with their forktrucks and forklift parts. There are many different types of forklifts to hire depending on the company’s requirements and needs; here is a look at some of the different types of forklift hire.
Counterbalanced Forklift Hire – this type of forktruck is the most common and popular as it is for general use. A counterbalanced forklift means the truck is counterbalanced at the back of the truck so it is not to tip over when the truck is carrying its load. This type of forklift hire is appropriate for most general distribution centres and warehouses.
Guided Very Narrow Aisle Trucks – these types of forklift hire are rail or wire guided and is meant for narrow aisles and small spaces. There are two options with this forklift hire one being man-down and the second man-riser where the truck operator raises the load high to increase visibility or for multi level loading.
Automated Forklift Trucks – there has been an increase in the demand and supply for automated forklift hire also called forked automated guided vehicles. Automated forklift trucks were created to decrease the company’s cost on salary and to increase efficiency and production.
Explosion Proof Forktrucks – as the name suggests these forklift trucks are made to be explosion proof. This is required if the forklift hire is working around chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, logistics or other industries handling flammable material.
Articulated Counterbalance Forklifts – most forklift trucks are rear wheeled whereas this articulated counterbalanced forklift truck is front wheel steer.
