Selecting the Right Equipment for the Job
Whether you are looking for your first lift truck, replacing a piece of equipment, or expanding your fleet, there are six common forklift classifications that may help you decide on the right equipment for your company.
Class I: In this category, you will find electric sit-down 3-wheel and 4-wheel forklifts. They can be equipped with either cushion tires (for indoor use in smooth, level surfaces) or pneumatic tires (recommended for use outdoors and on rougher terrain). Ideal uses for this class of lift trucks include loading and unloading tractor-trailer and handling pallets. Because they are battery-powered, they are much quieter than other forklifts and produce no emissions.
Class II: This category includes electric reach and deep-reach forklifts. The operator guides the fork to reach up and grab pallets, so these lifts offer height that many others cannot achieve and are targeted toward picking and putting away inventory indoors. They are ideal for tight spaces and very narrow aisle operation. Most Class II forklifts are standup units, but sit-down models are also available.
Class III: In this category are walk-behind pallet jacks, rider pallet jacks, tuggers, stand-up counterbalanced forklift, and walkie counterbalanced stackers. Ideal uses include quick unloading of deliveries from tractor-trailers and moving loads to a staging area, as well as for short runs in smaller warehouses.
Class IV: This category includes an LP gas-powered internal combustion engine (similar to a car) and cushion tires. The sit-down forklift is designed for use inside on smooth dry floors to move pallets to and from the loading dock and the storage area. Cushion-tired forklifts normally ride lower to the ground than pneumatic tired forklifts, making them suitable when you are working with low-clearance situations.
Class V: You will find an LP gas or diesel-powered internal combustion engine with air or solid rubber tires in this class. The sit-down forklift is meant to be used outside but may also be used inside large warehouses. Forklifts in this category are very versatile for different load sizes and are the most common type found in warehouse use.
Class VI: This category includes lift trucks that are specifically designed for rough terrain. They have large flotation tires that make them especially useful on construction sites and lumber yards.
