Forklifts

The right forklift keeps product moving and crews safe. From warehouses and loading docks to job sites and manufacturing floors, our forklifts and powered lift trucks are built to lift, stack, and transport heavy loads all shift long. Choose the capacity, lift height, and power source that match how your operation actually runs.

Matching a Forklift to the Job

• Load capacity: Rate for your heaviest palletized load plus a safety margin, and account for load center.
• Lift height: Measure your top rack or trailer height — mast height determines how high you can stack.
• Aisle width: Tight warehouses need a compact turning radius; reach trucks and stackers shine in narrow aisles.
• Indoor vs. outdoor: Electric models run clean and quiet indoors; rugged tires and higher clearance handle rough terrain.

Electric Power and Efficiency

Electric forklifts and stackers cut fuel costs, eliminate exhaust for indoor use, and require less maintenance than combustion units. Lithium and sealed-battery options mean fast charging and long service life with minimal upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right forklift capacity?

Rate for your heaviest load at its load center, then add a margin. Remember that rated capacity drops as lift height and load center increase, so always check the load chart.

Are electric forklifts better than gas?

For indoor work, yes — they're clean, quiet, and cheaper to run. Gas and diesel still lead for the heaviest outdoor loads and rough terrain.

What's the difference between a forklift, a stacker, and a reach truck?

Stackers and reach trucks are built for narrow aisles and lighter loads, and reach trucks extend the forks deep into racking. Counterbalance forklifts handle the heaviest loads with the most versatility.
