Caterpillar End Control Forklifts Salt Lake City

In manufacturing and warehouse environments, the types of equipment which drivers use to transport materials from one place to another are called forklifts. The machinery lifts pallets, also called skids, that are loaded with objects. The lift truck is designed with forks that insert into the rungs of the pallet. Forklifts are also sometimes known as as Pallet Trucks, Lift Trucks, Skid Trucks, High/Low, Stacker-Trucks and Side Loaders.



The first forklifts were sold during the early part of the 1900s by companies such as Yale & Towne Manufacturing and Clark. Today nearly all goods stores on pallets and are delivered to warehouses. Forklifts are commonly found in warehouses and manufacturing plants, where they are utilized for the smooth operation of business.



The following are amongst the various types of pallet or skid lifts: Hand pallet truck; Walkie low lift truck - with electrical motor; Rider low lift truck; Telescopic handler; Towing tractor; IC counterbalanced truck; Sideloader; Walkie stacker; Rider stacker; Slip Sheet machine; Reach truck; Electric counterbalanced truck; Walkie Order Picking truck; Rider Order Picking truck - also called "Order Picker"; Articulated Very Narrow Aisle Counterbalanced trucks - also called "Flexi Truck"; Truck Mounted Forklift / Sod Loader; Guided Very Narrow Aisle truck ; 'Man Down' - utilized for narrow aisles; and 'Man Riser' Combination Order Picker/ Stacker truck



The articulated counterbalance truck is a kind of counterbalanced forklift truck that is used for specialized applications. This particular hybrid is recommended for really narrow aisles as it is capable of onloading and offloading in really tight spaces.
