Lean on Royal Forklift’s Expertise
We have a team of professionals who have in-depth knowledge of all the equipment we rent, lease and sell. If you have any questions whatsoever, we’ll be ready to answer them.
For example, we often hear from customers who aren’t quite sure exactly what type of forklift they need – and that’s understandable. A lot of our customers only need a forklift for a few days. Here are just a few tips to help make sure you get the right piece of equipment for your specific application.
Indoor and Outdoor Forklifts
Some forklifts are made only for indoor use, while others are used exclusively outdoors, in environments such as loading docks and lumber yards.
If you plan on using your forklift inside, then you will want one powered by electricity rather than liquid propane or gasoline. Electrical forklifts don’t emit fumes, which could obviously be a problem in an indoor setting. They’re also much quieter.
The environment in which you’ll use the forklift will also have a bearing on the kind of tires it should have. If the forklift is for indoor use only, then you should consider cushion tires. If you’re using it outside, get a forklift with pneumatic tires.
Frequency of Use/Load Requirements
If you only plan on using the forklift occasionally, then a so-called “walkie,” or walk-behind, forklift might fit your needs. This type of forklift can handle loads of up to 4,500 pounds.
Please make sure you choose a forklift that will handle not only load capacity, but will also handle your length requirements. The bigger the load, the larger the forklift needs to be. If your loads will need longer forks, that will also have an impact on the lift capacity you need.
