During the latter part of the 1990's, a Nissan Propane Forklift would have cost approximately $11,000 to $14,000 to buy a brand new one. You are now able to buy a second-hand model with this amount, with fewer than 5,000 operating hours and has around 15 feet of lifting capacity and cushion tires. However, a used Nissan forklift truck which has less than 5,000 hours can be found for under $7,000. This option might be a little bit of an older model than some others, but keep in mind; everything revolves around the operating hours. A model such as this would most likely have a fairly good load capacity of approximately 5,000 lbs.
Newer Nissan forklifts from the year 2005 to the current year, could be found priced near $10,000. Usually, these models will have a standard lift capacity ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Normally, a model similar to this will run smoothly and have cushion tires. Of course, newer models usually run smoother compared to older ones.
Kinds of Forklifts
Generally, forklifts are categorized in 2 specific ways: by the structure of the lift truck and the type of fuel it takes. Based on structure, the following types of forklifts are among the most common:
Standard Forklift: The standard lift truck comprises the regular warehouse equipment we are all familiar with. These lift trucks offer a lifting capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 lbs. They have a height capacity of roughly 20 feet.
Reach Forklift: The narrow aisle forklift and reach forklift are the kind of forklifts found in distribution centers and warehouses which have limited storage space. Narrow construction means that it is not able to lift as much as a typical lift truck model, however, it has an extendable mast that can easily carry loads roughly 40 feet.
Telescopic Forklift: Telescopic forklifts are also referred to as telehandlers, extendable reach forklifts or a telescopic handler. These kinds forklift trucks are a more heavy-duty and rugged version of a regular forklift. These models provide a telescopic boom that could be raised up and extended out. Normally, these models are used on rough terrain. They could can handle loads up to 70 feet high
Straight Mast Forklift: The straight mast forklift is most usually utilized to perform tasks on rough terrain. These kinds of forklifts can only transport loads vertically, not like a telescopic model. These models can lift loads up to 12,000 pounds, while reaching a height of 10 to 30 feet.
