Electrical Forklift Trucks

An electrical forklift truck is a human-operated piece of machinery used to lift and move equipment and materials. Forklifts are powered from a battery and have transmissions and controls to manipulate the forklift's drive system and the mechanism controlling the forks. Forklifts are often coutnerbalanced, with significant weight placed at the aft end of the vehicle to counter the weight of the load on the forks.
