When selecting a forklift, the main criteria to consider are load capacity, lifting height, motor type, tire composition, and operator ergonomics.
Several types of motors are available:
- Electric motors
- Internal combustion engines: Gasoline; Diesel; LPG (liquefied petroleum gas); CNG (compressed natural gas);
- Hybrid motors (combustion/electric)
The specificities of the worksite are decisive factors in choosing the right equipment:
- Indoor or outdoor operation;
- Height restrictions;
- Accessibility of the elements to be transported
