I.C. Forklifts (Class IV Cushion & Class V Pneumatic)

Cushion Forklifts:

Primarily used indoors on smooth surfaces. Available fuels are gas and propane and capacities range from 3,000lb to 90,000lb. The cushion tire is a solid rubber tire that is very rigid and allows for precision maneuvering making it ideal for use in close quarters. The compact body design makes it much smaller than a pneumatic tire forklift of the same lift capacity.

Pneumatic Forklifts:

Can be used indoors or outdoors and is capable of working on uneven surfaces. Available fuels are gas propane and diesel. Capacities range from 3,000lb to over 100,000lb and lifting heights are available in excess of 30ft. Pneumatic tires provide shock absorption which preserves the operator and the machine. They also allow for better traction and greater ground clearance. They are not as compact as a cushion tire machine with the same lifting capacity.

Rough Terrain Forklifts:

Designed for use outdoors in rough terrain environments. As greater ground clearance is required to navigate the rougher terrain, these units are built on much larger chassis to maintain stability while under load. Available fuels are gas, propane and diesel and capacities are available up to 30,000lb.
2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive options are available.

Telehandlers:

One of the most versatile machines on the market. Designed for outdoor use in rough terrain environments, these machines all come standard with 4-wheel drive. Lift capacities range from 3,000lb to 35,000 and lifting heights are available up to 70ft on certain models. There are often additional steering modes available for 4-wheel steering and crab steering. Outriggers, frame leveling and Hydrostatic transmissions are examples of other options that are available. These units can also be configured with a wide range of attachments including, fixed or rotating carriages, buckets, truss jibs, winches and grapples. Telescopic forklifts come in many different configurations, ensure theright one is chosen for your application.
