In the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost roughly $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You could now purchase a used model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has around 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 can be found for under $7,000. This alternative may be a little bit of an older unit than several others, but keep in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model like this will most likely have a fairly good load capacity of approximately 5,000 pounds.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Normally, these models will have a standard lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Usually, a model like this will have cushion tires and run smoothly. Of course, newer units generally run smoother than older ones.
Types of Forklifts
The forklift is generally categorized in 2 different manners: by the structure of the lift truck and the type of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following types of lift trucks are amongst the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard forklift comprises the regular warehouse machinery we are all familiar with. These forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of about 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The narrow aisle forklift and reach forklift are the type of forklifts found in distribution centers and warehouses that have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a typical lift truck unit, however, it has an extendable mast that could easily lift loads roughly 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: Telescopic lift trucks are also referred to as telehandlers, telescopic handler or extendable reach forklifts. These kinds forklift trucks are a more heavy-duty and rugged version of a standard lift truck. These models offer a telescopic boom which could be raised up and extended out. Often, these models are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to can handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: The straight mast forklift is most usually utilized to perform tasks on rough terrain. These types of forklifts are only capable of transporting loads vertically, not like a telescopic unit. These models can reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 pounds.
