Warehouse forklift You can see warehouse
forklift in most factories, job sites and
warehouses. Its one of the most widely found
working vehicles which generally classified by 3
factors lift capacity, load centre, and
stability. A warehouse forklift is ideal for
loading unloading delivery vehicles and can be
employed to lift pallets, carry inventory and
move merchandises over short distances.  They can
usually carry the weight of 1-5 tons and work
best in indoor locations. Telescopic
forklifts Also known as a teletruck, telescopic
forklifts are like a mixture of forklift and a
crane. They consist of a boom and an extending
arm that lets them reach far into the back of
delivery trucks and lift materials much higher
and farther than traditional forklifts. Many
telescopic forklifts are capable of lifting heavy
loads to 55ft in the air. Industrial
forklifts Also called as large capacity
forklifts, industrial forklifts are capable of
lifting loads that are much heavier compared to
conventional forklifts and lift them much higher.
Industrial forklifts can weigh around 30,000 lbs,
but they cant reach or lift at awkward angles
like a telescopic forklift can.
