Rough Terrain fork lifts vary in size, and have engines that are powered by gasoline, diesel, or propane. They are built with air-filled tires that have a deep tread and are designed to navigate through rough and tough outdoor conditions. Some models are designed to have a vertical tower; the vertical tower is used in lifting loads vertically up, while some other models have a telescopic boom that is used in lifting loads upward and outward.
Industrial Forklift
Industrial forklifts are designed to lift, carry, transport, stack, and unload materials. These forklifts are usually powered by electric combustion or battery, and mostly used in warehouses, recycling operations, and dock yards.
