Counterbalanced forklifts are essential in material handling, and they use a rear counterweight to balance heavy loads lifted by front forks. They come in electric and internal combustion (IC) variants, with options for three-wheel designs for manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
These versatile forklifts are suitable for indoor and outdoor use depending on the model. Their main advantages include efficient load movement, increased productivity, and enhanced safety due to the balanced design. They help streamline warehouse and logistics operations by enabling quick transport of goods, maximising storage space, and reducing the risk of tipping.
Articulated forklifts are specialised material handling vehicles with flexible joints that allow the front mast and forks to pivot independently from the chassis.
This design enables them to operate in narrow aisles, making them ideal for maximising warehouse space and accessing hard-to-reach areas. Articulated forklifts are versatile, handling both indoor and outdoor tasks, and can lift loads at various heights while manoeuvring efficiently in tight spaces. Their key benefits include increased storage capacity, improved productivity, and reduced need for multiple types of forklifts.
Multidirectional forklifts are versatile material handling vehicles designed to move in multiple directions, including forward, backwards, and sideways. This capability allows easy transportation of long or bulky loads, such as pipes and timber, through narrow aisles.
They use specialised wheels or steering systems to navigate tight spaces and handle complex manoeuvres. Key advantages include increased flexibility, efficient use of storage space, and the ability to transport unconventional loads safely. Multidirectional forklifts are crucial in many of our supported industries like lumber, metal, and manufacturing, where handling oversized or awkward materials is common.
