Forklift

machines · heavy lifting · work trucks

Lifts Heavy Loads. Forklifts use two metal prongs called forks that slide under pallets and boxes, then hydraulic power lifts them high off the ground so workers can move them around easily.

Born in the 1900s. The forklift was invented in the early 20th century by smart engineers at companies like Clark and Yale & Towne Manufacturing who combined transmission and hoist technology.

Powered by Engines. Most forklifts run on either gasoline, diesel, or electric batteries that give them the strength to lift things that weigh thousands of pounds.

Everywhere You Need It. You'll find forklifts in warehouses, factories, construction sites, and stores anywhere people need to move pallets, crates, and heavy materials quickly and safely.
