Forklifts can generally be divided into three main categories: internal combustion forklifts, electric forklifts, and warehouse forklifts.
Internal Combustion Forklifts: Internal combustion forklifts are further divided into standard internal combustion forklifts, heavy-duty forklifts, container forklifts, and side-loading forklifts.
Electric Forklifts: Powered by an electric motor and fueled by batteries. Load capacity ranges from 1.0 to 8.0 tons, and the aisle width is typically 3.5 to 5.0 meters. Due to their low noise and lack of pollution, they are widely used in indoor operations and other environmentally sensitive applications, such as in the pharmaceutical and food industries. With increasing emphasis on environmental protection, electric forklifts are gradually replacing internal combustion forklifts. Since each battery typically needs recharging after about 8 hours of operation, spare batteries are necessary for multi-shift operations.
Warehouse Forklifts: Warehouse forklifts are primarily designed for handling goods within warehouses. Except for a few warehouse forklifts (such as manual pallet forklifts) that are manually driven, most are electrically driven. They are widely used in the warehousing industry due to their compact size, maneuverability, light weight, and environmental friendliness. When operating in multiple shifts, motor-driven warehouse forklifts need to have spare batteries.
