Sit-Down or Stand-Up Forklifts?
The traditional sit-down forklift is a common choice, but there are some factors to consider before making a decision.
- What will the work environment be for your forklift? Will the equipment be working on smooth or rough surfaces? Will it be used inside, outside, or both?
- Will operators be required to maneuver the forklifts through narrow aisles or around sharp corners?
- Will the forklift be used for long periods of time? How often does the operator need to get on and off of the machine?
- What percentage of time will the forklift be used for long distance trips versus small, hop on/hop off trips in which the operator is constantly moving on and off the lift?
- Would a stand-up forklift or a sit-down forklift increase your productivity?
Operator comfort and its impact on productivity is important for your business. In sit-down forklifts, drivers are typically positioned face-forward and need to twist their back and shoulders for reverse travel. Stand-up forklifts, on the other hand, allow the operator to easily turn his or her body in many directions.
Depending on the workload, a stand-up forklift could make operations more efficient, but it may require operators who are accustomed to traditional sit-down forklifts to undergo some simple training on the safe and efficient operation of stand-up forklifts.
At Royal Forklift, we recommend going over your needs and comparing them to the operational characteristics of each forklift. Our knowledgeable team will be more than happy to answer your questions and help steer you in the right direction.
