Forklift Classifications

Below are the classes of forklifts which describe the application and fuel option of each type of forklift. Certification is needed for each class of forklift which the operator would be utilizing.



Class 1 - Electric Motor Rider Trucks

These forklifts come with either cushion or pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires are recommended for outdoor application during dry conditions. The models with cushion tires are designed for indoor, smooth surfaces. These are electrically powered vehicles which use industrial batteries, which make them desirable within closed environments where air quality is an issue. Travel and hoist functions are controlled by transistor motor controllers. These are versatile units usually utilized everywhere from the loading dock to the storage facility.



Class 2 - Electric Motor Narrow Aisle Trucks

For the type of location where narrow aisles must be negotiated, this particular kind of forklift is suitable. They are effective at making the most of storage space. Their unique design makes them ideal for small spaces and where speed is required.



Class 3 - Electric Motor Hand or Hand-Rider Trucks

These battery-powered, hand-controlled models are designed for the operator to stand in front of the truck and control the lift using a steering tiller. The tiller has controls mounted on top and is moved sideways to steer the vehicle. The units that have smaller capacity use industrial batteries.
