During the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift would have cost around $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You can now purchase a used unit with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has roughly 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. On the other hand, a used Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours could be found for less than $7,000. This option may be a little bit of an older model than several others, but keep in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A unit like this will probably have a fairly good load capacity of approximately 5,000 lbs.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Typically, these units will have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Usually, a unit like this would run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer units normally work smoother compared to older ones.
Types of Forklifts
The lift truck is normally categorized in 2 different manners: by the structure of the lift truck and the type of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following types of lift trucks are amongst the most popular:
Standard Forklift: Standard lift trucks comprise the familiar warehouse lift truck. These forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of about 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The reach forklift and narrow aisle forklift are the type of forklifts found in warehouses and distribution centers that have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a standard forklift unit, however, it has an extendable mast that could easily lift loads about 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: The telescopic lift truck is also known as a telehandler, or a telescopic handler or sometimes even an extendable reach forklift. These machinery are more rugged and more heavy duty compared to the conventional forklift. These models provide a telescopic boom which is capable of being raised up and extended out. Usually, these models are utilized on rough terrain. They could handle loads up to 70 feet high and can move loads weighing more than 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 kinds of lift trucks could only move loads vertically, unlike a telescopic unit. These models could raise loads up to 12,000 pounds, while reaching a height of 10 to 30 feet.
