Browse our Forklift Types Chart below to get an idea of what is available and what would best suit
your forklift’s environment — including tires, fuel (or electric), and overall size based on the
space in which it operates.

Walkie Stackers & Pallet Lift Trucks (Class II)

Mostly used for moving pallets and crates of smaller loads at ground level. Perfect for
warehouses and shipping depots, and best suited for indoor applications.

Electric Forklifts – Warehouse (Class II & III)

Highly maneuverable in tight spaces, these stand-on or ride-on forklifts handle small to
medium loads. Also known as order pickers, turret trucks, and reach trucks.

Electric Forklifts – Counter Balance (Class I)

Used to lift medium to large loads with a battery-powered engine. These forklifts are
low-emission, ideal for indoor environments, and typically offer lower operating costs.

Internal Combustion Engine Forklifts (Class IV & V)

The most common outdoor forklifts, built for lifting heavier loads. They are weather
resistant and can run on liquid propane, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, or compressed
natural gas.

Industrial Forklifts – Big Trucks

Designed to lift extremely large, heavy loads up to 48 tons — such as shipping containers,
large fabricated components, and heavy pallet loads — to very high stacking heights.
