In 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 model with this amount, with less than 5,000 operating hours and has around 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. On the other hand, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours could be found for under $7,000. This alternative may be a little bit of an older model than some others, but bear in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A unit like this would most likely have a pretty good load capacity of around 5,000 lbs.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Typically, these models will have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Usually, a unit similar to this would run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer models usually work smoother compared to older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
The forklift is usually categorized in 2 different manners: by the structure of the forklift and the type of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following types of lift trucks are among the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard lift truck comprises the regular warehouse machinery we are all familiar with. These forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Normally known as a narrow aisle forklift, the reach lift truck is the type of machine which is found in distribution centers and warehouses where space is at a premium. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a standard forklift model, although, it has an extendable mast that could easily lift loads approximately 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: Telescopic forklifts are also known as telehandlers, telescopic handler or extendable reach forklifts. These types forklift trucks are a more rugged and heavy-duty version of a regular forklift. These units offer a telescopic boom that could be raised up and extended out. Usually, these units are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to can move loads weighing more than 30,000 pounds and are able to handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: Straight mast lift trucks are also normally utilized in rough terrain applications. These kinds of lift trucks are only capable of moving loads vertically, unlike a telescopic model. These models could reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 pounds.
