Forklift Classifications
Whether you are searching for your first lift truck, replacing a piece of equipment, or expanding your fleet, we have provided a general description of five common forklift classifications below to help you find the right material handling equipment for your company.
Class I includes electric sit-down 3-wheel and 4-wheel forklifts. Ideal uses include loading and unloading tractor-trailer and handling pallets. They are generally counterbalanced, which means that the battery also functions as a counterweight for stability. Because they are battery-powered, they are much quieter and produce no emissions, making them ideal when indoor air quality needs to be considered.
Class II includes electric reach and deep-reach forklifts. The operator guides the fork to reach up and grab pallets, so they offer height that many other forklifts cannot achieve and are targeted toward picking and putting away inventory indoors. They can operate effectively in narrow aisles. These are typically standup units, but sit-down models are also available.
Class III includes walk-behind pallet jacks, rider pallet jacks, tuggers, stand-up counterbalanced forklift, and walkie counterbalanced stackers. These lifts often come in both rider and walk-behind (“walkie”) options. Ideal uses include quickly unloading deliveries from tractor-trailers and moving loads to a staging area, as well as for short runs in smaller warehouses.
Class IV includes an LP gas powered internal combustion engine with cushion tires. This is a sit-down forklift meant to be used inside on smooth dry floors for moving pallets to and from the loading dock and the storage area. Cushion-tired forklifts typically ride lower to the ground than other forklifts, making them useful in low-clearance situations.
Class V includes an LP gas or diesel-powered internal combustion engine with air or solid rubber tires. This is a sit-down forklift meant to be used outside but may also be used inside large warehouses. Forklifts in this class are very versatile for different load sizes.
