In the late 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost about $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You could now buy a used unit with this amount, with less than 5,000 operating hours and has approximately 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. However, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours could be found for less than $7,000. This option might be a little bit of an older model than several others, but remember; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model like this will probably have a fairly good load capacity of roughly 5,000 pounds.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, can be found priced near $10,000. Usually, these units would have a regular lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 lbs. Normally, a unit like this would run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer models usually work smoother compared to older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
The lift truck is generally 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 forklifts are amongst the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard forklift comprises the regular warehouse equipment we are all familiar with. These types of forklifts provide a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of around 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Often known as a narrow aisle forklift, the reach forklift is the type of machinery which is found in warehouses and distribution centers where space is at a premium. Narrow construction means that it can not lift as much as a standard lift truck model, although, it has an extendable mast that can easily carry loads around 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: Telescopic lift trucks are also known as telehandlers, telescopic handler or extendable reach forklifts. These kinds lift truck trucks are a more rugged and heavy-duty version of a typical lift truck. These models offer a telescopic boom that can be extended out and raised up. Often, these models are used on rough terrain. They could could move 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, unlike a telescopic model. These units could reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 lbs.
