Forklifts & Material Handling: guides and checklists

A forklift's rated capacity is not a fixed number: it falls as the load centre moves outward and as the forks go higher. These guides explain that, compare forklift types, and show when a telehandler, pallet stacker or reach stacker suits the load, the surface and the space better. They also cover attachments, battery against diesel power, and the checks an operator makes before each shift. Read the capacity guide first, then the forklift-versus-telehandler comparison for rough-terrain and warehouse work.
