During the late 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost roughly $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You can now buy a second-hand model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has roughly 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. However, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours could be found for less than $7,000. This alternative may be a little bit of an older unit than several others, but bear in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model such as this would probably have a pretty good load capacity of about 5,000 pounds.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Usually, these models would have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Usually, a model like this will have cushion tires and run smoothly. Of course, newer units normally work smoother compared to older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
Usually, forklifts are categorized in 2 specific ways: by the structure of the forklift and the type of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following types of forklifts are among the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard lift truck comprises the typical warehouse equipment we are all familiar with. These kinds of forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Often referred to as a narrow aisle lift truck, the reach forklift is the kind of machinery that is found within distribution centers and warehouses where space is at a premium. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a standard forklift unit, although, it has an extendable mast which could easily lift loads approximately 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: The telescopic lift truck is also known as a telehandler, or an extendable reach forklifts or sometimes even a telescopic handler. These machines are more heavy duty and more rugged compared to the conventional forklift. These models offer a telescopic boom that is capable of being raised up and extended out. Usually, these units are used on rough terrain. They are able to handle loads up to 70 feet high and could transport loads weighing over 30,000 lbs. handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: The straight mast forklift is most usually used to perform tasks on rough terrain. These types of lift trucks are only capable of moving loads vertically, not like a telescopic model. These models can reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 lbs.
