Then people came up with a universal and cheap means for doing such work - slaves! But with the development of mankind, both in the moral and scientific spheres, slaves were abolished, and in their place, thanks to technological progress, various mechanisms began to appear.

One of them was a loader, the prototype of which appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century, who exactly was its first inventor, the question is not fully resolved, but the fact remains that today we have a compact, powerful and maneuverable machine. Now loaders are one of the most popular types of specialized equipment in construction, agriculture, warehouse logistics and other areas of the economy. In industries where the main activity is the movement and storage of various goods, forklifts are especially popular, which we want to talk about today.

Views

• Electric ... Very popular. This engine makes it possible to design a machine that is compact, maneuverable and fast, which significantly improves speed and makes it easier to work indoors. Moreover, the electric unit practically does not make noise and does not require refueling, the prices of which are growing like mushrooms after rain. Speaking of nature. This species is environmentally friendly, does not pollute the environment and does not harm people working nearby.
• Petrol ... The most widely used for work in open warehouses or warehouses with a large area with good ventilation. It is practically indispensable in conditions of extremely low temperatures, and if a small repair is required, it can be carried out right at the work site.
• Diesel ... It does not differ in any way from gasoline, only it makes more noise during operation, so it will be uncomfortable to be near it in a small closed room and, in general, unhealthy.

Main functions

The miracle of technical thought we are considering is usually called a forklift, although the forklift itself is a device installed on vehicle, it looks like two heavy steel rails on which the load is lifted. For safety reasons, the cab is often equipped with reinforced cages. The rear of the vehicle always has a weighted structure as a counterweight to the load.

In connection with the expansion of its warehouse, the need arose for a forklift. I asked my companions, I read on the forums. The choice is difficult and I don't want to invest a lot of money.

A forklift is the main carrier of goods in factories, warehouses, shops, outdoor areas. With the help of this technique, loading and unloading of wagons and trucks, stacking of heavy objects, containers, equipment, etc. are carried out. Today, thousands of different forklifts work in different sectors of the Russian economy. They differ in a number of ways, from engine to agility. Each production cycle or logistic scheme requires a technique with certain characteristics. Therefore, when choosing the most suitable model, experts recommend paying attention to several points.

1. First of all, it is important to decide on type loader. Today, the driving force for this technology is electric, diesel, petrol and gas engines. The most popular of these are electric forklift trucks and diesel models. And if the element of electric transport is small premises, warehouses and shops, then diesel units more in demand in open areas and in large factory workshops.
2. The second criterion to look at is lifting capacity... This characteristic depends on the specifics of production. In some cases, the carrying capacity of 1.5-2.0 tons is enough, and sometimes 5-ton monsters turn out to be powerless.
3. Height lifting. When loading and unloading operations, it is often necessary to lift the load very high. Most often, a height of 3 m is sufficient for efficient work. But it happens that the racks are of higher dimensions, and the loader must correspond to them.
4. Work performance is influenced by such an indicator as maneuverability... Models that are able to turn around on a small patch are very much appreciated. It is often better to sacrifice lifting capacity by choosing a nimble and quicker assistant.
