The 7 Classifications of Forklifts
Whether you are looking for your first lift truck, replacing older pieces of equipment, or expanding your fleet, these seven common classes of forklift should help you find the equipment you need.
Class I = Electric motor riders. Ideal uses include loading and unloading tractor-trailers and handling pallets. They are battery-powered and much quieter than other lifts. They produce no emissions, making them ideal when indoor air quality needs to be considered. They are very versatile and are found from the loading dock to the storage facility.
Class II = Electric motor narrow aisle trucks. Forklifts in this class offer height that many other forklifts cannot achieve and are perfect for picking and putting away inventory. They are ideal for companies that choose very narrow aisle operation, allowing them to maximize the use of their storage space.
Class III = Electric motor hand or hand-rider trucks. This class includes hand-controlled forklifts, such as walk-behind pallet jacks, rider pallet jacks, tuggers, and stand-up counterbalanced forklifts. 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 = Internal combustion engine trucks 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 = Internal combustion engine trucks with pneumatic 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 and are available with LPG, gasoline, diesel, and compressed natural gas fuel systems.
Class VI = Electric and internal combustion engine tractors. These vehicles are versatile and can be used in many different applications, both indoors and outdoors, but are most commonly used for towing loads rather than lifting.
Class VII = Rough terrain forklift trucks. These forklifts are fitted with large tractor-style tires for outdoor use on rough surfaces. They are most commonly used at lumberyards or construction sites to lift building materials to elevated work sites.
