Lift Code 4: 3-Wheel electric sit-down models.
Lift Code 5: Counterbalanced rider, cushion tire sit down tires.

Class 2 Forklifts: Class 2 forklifts consist of narrow aisle electric trucks with solid tires.
Class 3 Forklifts: The class 3 forklift would include all hand/rider trucks electric and fuel based with solid tires.
Class 4 Forklifts: The IC or internal combustion units make up Class 4 forklifts. These are sit down rider models with cushion tires. Generally, they are great for use on hard surfaces and indoor application.
Category 5 Forklifts: Class 5 is Internal Combustion Engine sit down rider models outfitted with pneumatic tires. Typically, these models are great for working on rough surfaces outside or on areas with significant inclines.
Category 6 Forklifts: The Class 6 forklifts are either IC powered or electric units. These ride-on units could tow at least one thousand lbs. This specific class is designed and engineered to tow loads as opposed to lift it.
Class 7 Forklifts: Class 7 just included rough terrain models with pneumatic tires. The Category 7 forklifts are almost exclusively used outside and powered by diesel engines.
These classifications were designed to keep the huge field of lift trucks organized and separated. In order to get their work completed, various working environments rely on different categories. Forklifts are quite specific in their loading and lifting capacities. Their various engine types and tire types are made for particular operation. In order to pick the best forklift to meet all your needs and to complete your jobs, do some research to know precisely what you will need from your particular unit. By speaking to some respectable dealers and taking time to investigate your choices, you will be able to pick the right machinery.
There are some truck models that have very narrow aisle or VNA features or NA or narrow aisle features. Most counterbalanced trucks need at least eleven feet of aisle width in order to function safely and efficiently. Narrow Aisle trucks on the other hand, could operate in narrow aisles which measure eight to ten feet wide. As well, VNA or very narrow aisle trucks can function in aisles as narrow as 6 feet wide.
The advantage of utilizing an NA and VNA truck over a conventional lift is that it makes it possible for warehouses to be built with narrower aisles. The wider aisles in the warehouses allow for more storage of products in a particular area, which improves cube utilization. The loads moved utilizing Narrow Aisle and VNA trucks usually are limited to around three thousand and five thousand lbs. Reach trucks are capable of operating in narrow aisle. Turret trucks, rotating mast trucks and order selectors are able to work within narrow or very narrow aisles, depending on the specific unit.
Specifically designed for storage and retrieval, reach trucks are made with telescoping forks and outriggers which enables the operator to pick up and retract a load over the outriggers. These models are not suitable for loading and unloading trucks, nor for moving loads quickly over long distances. Like the order selector, reach trucks can be available for lifting heights which are higher than 30 feet.
