Forklifts are industrial material handling vehicles, referring to various wheeled handling vehicles used for loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transport of palletized goods. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC110) refers to them as industrial vehicles. They are commonly used for transporting large items in warehouses and are typically powered by internal combustion engines or batteries.
The technical parameters of a forklift indicate its structural characteristics and working performance. Key technical parameters include: rated lifting capacity, load center distance, maximum lifting height, mast tilt angle, maximum travel speed, minimum turning radius, minimum ground clearance, wheelbase, and track width. In May 2023, a new generation of intelligent unmanned forklifts was unveiled in Anhui Province.
