Forklifts are a type of material handling equipment that uses a double-pronged attachment called a fork to lift and carry heavy palletized materials. Forklift models vary widely depending on the task. The most common forklifts are warehouse forklifts, which come with either pneumatic or cushion tires.
Other common types of forklifts are the walkie stacker models, pallet jacks, and telehandlers. These lift trucks are designed for indoor applications and can carry smaller palletized loads around worksites.
