Gas forklifts were the standard for years, but electric forklifts are quickly gaining ground. Electric forklifts tend to have a longer lifespan than gas-powered forklifts, as well as require less maintenance. Electric forklifts are also cheaper in the long run, though they are more expensive upfront. Electric forklift batteries need to be charged in approximately 8 hour blocks, so forgetting to plug your lift in overnight could tank the next day's productivity. It is important to note that gas and diesel powered forklifts cannot be used indoors.

The answer to this question depends on the job you're trying to accomplish. When picking a forklift, it is important to know the heaviest load you're going to put on the lift as well as the load center. It's also important to consider the capacity limitations of any attachments you may use because some attachments have a lower max capacity than the forklift, which could cause problems even though you have an otherwise capable machine.

Forklifts use cushion tires for indoor use and pneumatic tires for outdoor use. Pneumatic tires can be either solid rubber or air. Solid pneumatic tires are made of solid rubber, so they cannot be popped by hazards at the worksite. Air pneumatic tires are similar to the tires on a car.

The standard size of forklift forks is 42 inches long.

Forklift forks must comply with industry standards making them interchangeable between brands. It is still important to verify the capacity of your forks match up with the capacity of your lift.

The best forklift for your application will meet your needs for carrying capacity, lift height, motor type, and tire composition. Check out our guide to learn more.
