The other class III machine is called a pallet stacker. While the electric counterbalance or ICE forklifts are the most well known, the electric motorized hand trucks are the most used, specifically the pallet jacks and tow tractors (also called tuggers). Learn about Class 2 Forklifts The different types of forklifts: Class II Class III: Electric Motorized Hand Trucks In the image below you can see how an order picker is most often used. Reach trucks have dual forks in the front that rise while the operator stays on the ground level, whereas order pickers have a platform that rises with the forks so that the operator can be eye to eye with the pallets he is moving. The difference between the two lies in how the operator uses the truck. Thus, class II machines are kept indoors and are the best fit for warehouses with a large number of materials stacked on shelves. Order pickers and reach trucks are built to perform the same task, lifting pallets to the top of racks and shelves. All three of these truck types run on large conventional, thin plate pure lead, or lithium-ion batteries and range from 1,500 – 5000 lbs. The electric narrow aisle forklifts consist of order pickers, reach trucks, and turret trucks. The different types of forklifts: Class I The Complete Breakdown on Class 1 Forklifts Here Class II: Electric Narrow Aisle The dual forks in the front half have several attachments available however, they are most commonly used for moving and lifting pallets onto shelves. Thus, these models run higher in their load capacities, anywhere from 3,000 – 12,000 lbs. While the 4-wheel electric forklift is more suitable for rough terrain and outdoor applications. Generally, the 3-wheel range for load capacity is 1,500 – 4,000 lbs. This is one reason why you see lower load capacities for the 3-wheel models. The 3-wheel electric forklift is ideal for indoor, smooth floor factory applications that require tighter spaces and a higher turn radius. Watch a Video on Forklift battery Types Hereīoth of the 3-wheel and 4-wheel electric forklifts have options for cushion or pneumatic tires. The term counterbalance means that the truck frame gains stability by having weight (usually a conventional battery, thin plate pure lead or a lithium-ion battery) towards the center or rear of the forklift. Electric counterbalanced trucks have both sit-down and stand up forklift options that come in 3-wheel and 4-wheel models.
