During the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift would have cost approximately $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You could now purchase a used model with this amount, with less than 5,000 operating hours and has approximately 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 under $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 unit like this will most likely have a fairly good load capacity of roughly 5,000 lbs.
A new Nissan forklift, dating from the year 2005 to the current year, could be found for approximately $10,000. Normally, these models will have a standard 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 units generally run smoother compared to older ones.
Types of Forklifts
The lift truck is usually categorized in 2 separate manners: by the type of fuel it takes and the structure of the forklift. Based on structure, the following types of lift trucks are amongst the most popular:
Standard Forklift: Standard forklifts include the familiar warehouse forklift. These types of forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of approximately 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The reach forklift and narrow aisle forklift are the type of forklifts found within warehouses and distribution centers that have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a standard lift truck model, although, it has an extendable mast which 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 forklift trucks are a more heavy-duty and rugged version of a typical lift truck. These units offer a telescopic boom that can be extended out and raised up. Usually, these units are utilized on rough terrain. They are able to can handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: The straight mast forklift is most normally used to perform tasks on rough terrain. These kinds of lift trucks are only capable of transporting loads vertically, not like a telescopic unit. These units could reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while lifting loads up to 12,000 pounds.
