Forklifts & Material Handling

Forklifts & Material Handling Article

re many national and/or continental associations related to the industrial trucks. The three major ones are the Industrial Truck Association (North America), the Fération Européne de la Manutention (Europe), and the Japan Industrial Vehicles Association (Japan). There are many significant contacts among them and they have established joint statistical and engineering programs. One program is the WITS (World Industrial Trucks Statistics) published every month to the association memberships. The statistics are separated by area (continent), country, and class of machine. While the statistics are generic, and do not count production from most of the smaller manufacturers, the information is significant for its depth. These contacts have brought to a common definition of the Class System, which all the major manufacturers adhere to. Following is the list of the more common truck types, from the smallest to the biggest:

* Hand pallet truck (a "pump truck", or a "chep truck", or a "hand-jack", a simple mechanism whereby hand-pumped hydraulics raise or lower a single pallet simply to provide clearance from the floor for manual (hand) pulling; heavy loads are unwieldy or risk injury to operators.) (Separate article to follow with photographs.)
* Walkie low lift truck (powered pallet truck, usually electrically powered)
* Rider low lift truck
* Towing tractor
* Walkie stacker
* Rider stacker
* Reach truck (small forklift, designed for small aisles, usually electrically powered)
* Electric counterbalanced truck
* IC counterbalanced truck
* Sideloader
* Telescopic handler
* Slip Sheet machine
* Walkie Order Picking truck
* Rider Order Picking truck (commonly called an "Order Picker"; like a small forklift, except the operator rides up to the load and transfers it article by article)
* Very narrow aisle truck (usually a reach truck designed for aisles less than five feet wide)
