In the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift will have cost about $11,000 to $14,000 to purchase a brand new one. You can now purchase a used model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has approximately 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. On the other hand, a second-hand Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours can be found for less than $7,000. This alternative might be a little bit of an older model than several others, but bear in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model such as this would probably have a fairly good load capacity of approximately 5,000 lbs.
Newer Nissan forklifts from 2005 to the current year, can be found priced near $10,000. Typically, these models will have a standard lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Normally, a unit similar to this will run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer models generally run smoother compared to older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
Generally, forklifts are categorized in 2 particular ways: 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 forklifts offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. They have a height capacity of around 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The narrow aisle forklift and reach forklift are the type of forklifts found within warehouses and distribution centers that have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it can not lift as much as a typical forklift model, although, it has an extendable mast that could easily carry loads around 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: The telescopic lift truck is also referred to as a telehandler, or an extendable reach forklifts or sometimes even a telescopic handler. These equipment are more heavy duty and more rugged compared to the traditional forklift. These models offer a telescopic boom which is capable of being raised up and extended out. Often, these models are used on rough terrain. They could could handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: Straight mast lift trucks are also normally used in rough terrain applications. These types of lift trucks 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.
