Caterpillar Warehouse Forklifts Tucson

Forklift Classifications

Below are the classes of forklifts which describe the application and fuel option of every type of forklift. Certification is truly necessary for each class of forklift which the operator would be using.



Class 1 - Electric Motor Rider Trucks

These forklifts come with either cushion or pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires are suggested for outdoor use in dry conditions. The models with cushion tires are designed for smooth, indoor surfaces. These are electrically powered vehicles that use industrial batteries, that make them desirable in closed environments where the quality of air is an issue. Hoist functions and travel are controlled by transistor motor controllers. These are versatile units commonly used everywhere from storage facility to the loading dock.



Class 2 - Electric Motor Narrow Aisle Trucks

This forklift is suggested for locations where narrow aisles have to be negotiated. They are effective at maximizing the use of storage space. Their unique design makes them perfect where speed is required and for small spaces.



Class 3 - Electric Motor Hand or Hand-Rider Trucks

These are hand-controlled and battery-powered models. Making use of a steering tiller, the operator could control the lift while standing in front of the truck. The tiller has controls mounted on top and is moved laterally to steer the vehicle. The smaller capacity units use industrial batteries.
