Forklifts are industrial handling vehicles designed for the loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transportation of unitized palletized goods. Referred to as industrial vehicles by the International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC110, forklifts are commonly used for the transportation of large items in warehouses. They are typically powered by either internal combustion engines or batteries.
The technical parameters of a forklift are used to indicate its structural features and operational performance. The key technical parameters include rated lifting capacity, load center distance, maximum lifting height, mast tilt angle, maximum travel speed, minimum turning radius, minimum ground clearance, as well as wheelbase and track width.
