Lift trucks were first introduced in the beginning of the twentieth Century. They have grown exponentially since the first models. Their initial purpose was to move materials in an efficient manner. This is still the main goal. There are a variety of different kinds of lift trucks used within the material handling industry.

Motorized Pallet Truck Rider Type
The rider type of lift truck is a motorized version of the pallet jack. This equipment is normally used to transport pallet trucks over extreme distances, including movement between storage areas or departments. There is one more type referred to as the walkie version. This particular type lacks the higher speeds and the operator platform. Hi maneuverability and low cost make these vehicles a better choice for operations where frequent load movement is required. Several of the common options include double pallet length forks that allow you to move 2 pallets in a single trip.

Electric Counterbalanced Lift Truck
The Electric Counterbalanced Lift Truck is utilized to lift and transport items and supplies, and utilized to move load trailers and pallet loads throughout a facility. This kind has a huge variety of attachments available and needs to have a wide aisle for turning.

Internal Combustion Counterbalanced Lift Truck

Order Selector
The order selector has been made to move palleted loads out of and into selective racks. The VNA or very narrow aisle vehicles works in aisles less than six feet wide. These Order Selectors are also called Order Pickers.

Reach Truck
The narrow aisle or very narrow aisle lift trucks are used mainly for racked pallet storage up to 8 to 11 feet. Double-deep versions load pallets 2-deep in special double-deep racking systems. These reach trucks are effective and can make racked pallet storage a more streamlined process.
