In the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost roughly $11,000 to $14,000 to purchase a brand new one. You can now buy a used model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has about 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. On the other hand, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck that has less than 5,000 hours could be found for less than $7,000. This option might be a little bit of an older model than several others, but keep in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A unit such as this will most likely have a fairly good load capacity of roughly 5,000 lbs.
A brand new Nissan forklift, dating from the year 2005 to the current year, can be found for about $10,000. Normally, these models will have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Normally, a model like this will have cushion tires and run smoothly. Of course, newer units normally run smoother than older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
The forklift is normally categorized in 2 different manners: by the type of fuel it takes and the structure of the forklift. Based on structure, the following kinds of forklifts are amongst the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard lift truck comprises the typical warehouse equipment we are all familiar with. These kinds of lift trucks offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Normally known as a narrow aisle forklift, the reach forklift is the kind of machinery that is found in warehouses and distribution centers where space is at a premium. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a standard forklift unit, although, it has an extendable mast which can easily lift loads around 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: The telescopic forklift is also referred to as a telehandler, or an extendable reach forklifts or sometimes even a telescopic handler. These machinery are more heavy duty and more rugged compared to the conventional forklift. These units provide a telescopic boom that is capable of being extended out and raised up. Normally, these units are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to can move loads weighing more than 30,000 pounds and are able to handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: Straight mast lift trucks are also normally used in rough terrain applications. These types of lift trucks are only capable of transporting loads vertically, unlike a telescopic unit. These units could reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while raising loads up to 12,000 pounds.
