Industrial truck (forklift) dimensions
Parts of a Counterbalance forklift
Reach Forklift or picker forklift
Person controlled pallet forklift
Forklift stability
Forklift maintenance and battery charging areas
- This area of the warehouse must be apart from rest of the warehouse areas.
- This area requires health and safety measures.
- The floor should be able to withstand heavy impact and battery acids (heavy duty epoxy resin).
- Battery chargers should be mounted on external walls with extractor fans.
- An equipment storage may be required.
