During the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost around $11,000 to $14,000 to purchase a brand new one. You are now able to purchase a used unit with this amount, with less than 5,000 operating hours and has about 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. However, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck that has less than 5,000 hours could be found for under $7,000. This option may be a little bit of an older model than some others, but remember; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model like this would probably have a pretty good load capacity of approximately 5,000 pounds.
A brand new Nissan forklift, dating from 2005 to the current year, can be found for roughly $10,000. Typically, these models would have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Normally, a unit like this would run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer units usually work smoother compared to older ones.
Types of Forklifts
Normally, forklifts are categorized in 2 specific ways: by the structure of the forklift and the kind of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following kinds of lift trucks are amongst the most common:
Standard Forklift: Standard lift trucks include the familiar warehouse forklift. These lift trucks provide a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The reach forklift and narrow aisle forklift are the kind of forklifts found in distribution centers and warehouses that have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a typical lift truck unit, however, it has an extendable mast which can easily lift loads roughly 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: Telescopic lift trucks are also known as telehandlers, extendable reach forklifts or a telescopic handler. These kinds lift truck trucks are a more heavy-duty and rugged version of a standard lift truck. These units provide a telescopic boom that is capable of being extended out and raised up. Often, these models are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to could transport loads weighing over 30,000 lbs and are able to handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: Straight mast lift trucks are also normally used in rough terrain applications. These kinds of forklifts are only capable of transporting loads vertically, not like a telescopic model. These models could lift loads up to 12,000 lbs, while reaching a height of 10 to 30 feet.
