What is a forklift?

This isn’t a frequently asked question, but let’s define it anyway. A forklift is a powerful machine that lifts, moves, and transports heavy goods. It’s an essential tool for managing heavy loads in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. Forklifts come in various types tailored for different environments and tasks. Forklifts can be powered by internal combustion engines, or battery electric. Adaptalift sells over 500 models, from counterbalance warehouse forklifts and reach trucks, to heavy-duty container handlers and rough terrain forklifts.
