Whether you’re in the market to buy diesel forklift or a battery-powered type, it’s a good idea to know the different kinds of forklifts that are available to make sure that you are investing in the right piece of equipment. Here are some types of forklifts that you can choose from.

 

Types of Forklifts

 

  • Engine Counterbalance – This type of forklift is designed to safely lift payloads ranging from 1 ton to 48 tons. It gets its name from the counterweight added to the forklift’s rear end to offset the weight of the load that it can carry on the tynes up front. The counterweight prevents the forklift from tilting over. Our engine counterbalance forklifts are available in diesel, LPG, or dual-fuel, making them perfect for outdoor use and well ventilated indoor spaces.

 

  • Battery Electric Counterbalance – Like the engine counterbalance, this type of forklift is also a powerful beast when it comes to lifting heavy loads. With this type of forklift, the counterweights are used supplementary to the forklift’s battery. As the name suggests, the battery electric counterbalance is electric-powered, but don’t let its small, compact body trick you. These forklifts are available in sizes ranging from 1 ton to 16 tons – providing that massive lifting power when you buy electric forklift.

 

  • Lithium-Powered Forklift – Are your operations mostly confined within the walls of your warehouse? Do you need high-demand equipment that can work continuously with minimal need for charging? Choose an electric forklift that’s powered by lithium-iron phosphate batteries. This type of electric forklift is more reliable and energy-efficient, with fast charging maintenance-free batteries. A full charge only takes two hours, so you can be sure that your forklift is always on the go. We carry new units of the Enforcer Smart Power Lithium Iron Phosphate forklift, with capacities ranging from 1 ton to 3.5 tons and an assortment of mast types and sizes for your specialized needs.

 

  • Rough-Terrain Forklift – A rough-terrain forklift can deliver tremendous amounts of power and strength, making them the perfect equipment for industrial and outdoor construction. These machines are capable of carrying huge loads across uneven and sloping terrain. They are powered by diesel engines or as a newly released lithium powered option and equipped with huge tractor-type tyres for greater stability and grip. If you’re on the hunt to buy forklift for your construction activities, we provide a wide range of new rough-terrain units from Enforcer and AUSA, as well as used rough terrain forklifts from other well-known brands.

 

  • Stock Picker – An order picker or stock picker is an agile and versatile addition to any forklift fleet. It’s especially useful for a warehouse with high bay pallet racking. It can an operator safely access heavy boxes on the topmost shelves of your warehouse. With lifting capabilities ranging from 500 to 2000 kilograms, a stock picker is an essential tool for industries such as shipping, distribution, and manufacturing. We have single- and double-length new and used stock pickers for sale and hire that can be fitted with two- and three-stage masts for improved safety.

 

  • Reach Truck – Businesses optimize warehouses with narrower and taller aisles to increase usable space. If you’ve done this, you’ll know how hard material handling and navigation can be with such tight spaces. A reach truck is a compact body truck that’s a perfect solution for narrow aisle applications. With its wheels positioned beneath the operator, a reach truck can make tighter turns with such ease. Our range of all-new Enforcer reach trucks are powered with low-noise AC technology for optimum workplace performance. You can also choose to buy used forklift solutions, as we have a wide range of brands available for our used reach trucks.

 

  • Walkie Stacker Forklift – This type of electric forklift is a walk-behind/pedestrian pallet truck that’s used for transporting loads within short distances. It also has forks that can carry weights up to 2 tons and lift up to 5.5 metres high. It’s often used for transporting goods from, say, a warehouse to a storeroom. A walkie-stacker offers high manoeuvrability in tight spaces and emits no hazardous fumes or noise, making it perfect for indoor use. We have a variety of walkie-stacker forklifts for you to choose from, depending on your needs. Our new units are guaranteed with a five-year warranty on parts and labour, while our used forklifts come with a one-year warranty on both labour and parts.

 

  • Walkie Reach Stacker – Almost similar to the walkie-stacker, this type of forklift is also used for generally the same application. The key difference here is that a walkie-reach stacker is equipped with a pantographic scissor or moving mast that enables it to move the load forward, away from the equipment’s body. In addition, they are available with a ride on platform. It’s perfect for loading materials into utility vehicles and trailer trucks. Take your pick from among our new range of Enforcer walkie-reach stackers, most of which are equipped with power steering and side shift options for efficient manoeuvrability.

 

  • Electric Pallet Truck – An electric pallet truck is a significant piece of material handling equipment used in a variety of industries such as warehousing, storage, and manufacturing. It is ideal for transporting palletised cargo around a warehouse or manufacturing area by lifting them just enough to clear the floor. We offer pedestrian and stand-on versions of electric pallet trucks and platform trucks. With load capacities from 1.3 to 3 tons, our new and used electric pallet trucks are a practical addition to any forklift fleet. We provide hassle-free forklift solutions in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and all over Australia. More on second hand electric pallet jack for sale.

 

  • Telehandlers – What happens when you combine a forklift and a crane with offroad capability? That’s right, you’ll get a telescopic handler (or telehandler for short). This adaptable machine merges the lifting power of a forklift and the lifting reach of a crane. It has a telescopic boom that can be equipped with different attachments, depending on the work that needs to be done. We have a full catalogue of new and used telehandlers for sale or rent. We also have flexible ownership and payment options available. Contact us for a free quote from our professional team to help you get just the right forklift for your needs.
