Agreeing to what Julia and Ivy had posted, it seems that forklift is an asset that almost all warehouses need in order to carry out it's daily logistical activities. It is just a matter of which kind of forklift a company needs according to their specification. Thus, forklifts now become a common material handling equipment that almost all warehouses possesses compared to other types of material handling equipments. It is so called "can't live without" equipment by most contractors since it is so user friendly and lighten the workload so much compared to doing it manually. You can just imagine if cell phone doesn't exist. It is the same concept.

Different forklifts meets different needs in the warehouse. Forklifts varies in shapes, sizes, and whether they are meant for long or short distant movements or low or high elevation. The more popular among forklifts are known as the telehandlers/telescopic forklifts which have variable reaches.


Telehandlers also known as telescopic forklifts are adopted only when goods are stored at a very high level. It is actually a forklift attached at the end of the long arm of a crane. This kind of forklift also have more control over the placement of the pronged lifts attached to a crane that comes over the top of a truck.

There is one thing that contrators need to look out for when buying forklifts and that is the replacement parts as some of the parts are not always available in the market.
