During 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 buy a second-hand unit 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 which 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 model like this would most likely have a fairly good load capacity of about 5,000 lbs.
A new Nissan forklift, dating from 2005 to the current year, could be found for roughly $10,000. Typically, these units would have a standard lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Normally, a model similar to this will run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer models normally work smoother compared to older ones.
Types of Forklifts
The forklift is normally categorized in 2 separate manners: by the type of fuel it takes and the structure of the forklift. Based on structure, the following types of forklifts are among the most common:
Standard Forklift: Standard forklifts consist of the familiar warehouse lift truck. These forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of about 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Often known as a narrow aisle lift truck, the reach lift truck is the kind of machinery which 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 lift truck model, although, it has an extendable mast that could easily lift loads about 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: The telescopic forklift is also referred to as a telehandler, or a telescopic handler or sometimes even an extendable reach forklift. These machinery are more heavy duty and more rugged compared to the conventional forklift. These units provide a telescopic boom which is capable of being extended out and raised up. Often, these units are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to could handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: Straight mast lift trucks are also commonly used in rough terrain applications. These kinds of forklifts could only move loads vertically, not like a telescopic model. These units can reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 lbs.
