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 could now buy a second-hand model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has roughly 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. However, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck that has less than 5,000 hours can be found for less than $7,000. This option may be a little bit of an older model than several others, but remember; everything revolves around the operating hours. A unit like this would probably have a fairly good load capacity of about 5,000 lbs.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Typically, these units would have a typical lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Usually, a model like this would run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer units usually work smoother than older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
Generally, forklifts are categorized in 2 specific ways: by the kind of fuel it takes and the structure of the forklift. Based on structure, the following kinds of lift trucks are among the most common:
Standard Forklift: Standard forklifts consist of the familiar warehouse forklift. These lift trucks offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: Usually known as a narrow aisle lift truck, the reach forklift is the kind of machine which is found in warehouses and distribution centers where space is at a premium. Narrow construction means that it is not able to carry as much as a typical lift truck model, although, it has an extendable mast which could easily carry loads about 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 standard forklift. These units provide a telescopic boom which can be raised up and extended out. Usually, these units are utilized on rough terrain. They can can move loads weighing over 30,000 pounds and are able to handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: The straight mast forklift is most commonly utilized to perform tasks on rough terrain. These kinds of forklifts can only move loads vertically, unlike a telescopic unit. These units could reach a height of 10 to 30 feet, while raising loads up to 12,000 pounds.
