Electric Forklifts

On the front of the forklift the mast is situated. This contraption lowers and lifts the load utilizing hydraulic cylinders. Forklifts are powered either by IC or internal combustion or batteries. If an internal combustion engine is used, added counterweights should be utilized at the forklift's back. If a battery is utilized, it sits in the forklift's rear as a counterbalance.
