Forklifts Trivia Shared By Supplier In UAE

Did you know that the tructractor paved the way for the forklift industry? Built in 1917, this equipment was used to move materials at an axle plant. Now forklifts are the new way to move heavy materials around a plant.

In 1923, the first forklift was invented. Yale Materials Handling Corporation designed equipment with forks on the end to pick up loads and raise them up using an elevated mast.

Forklifts were made that could reach up to 50 feet in the 1950s because warehouses were being built up instead of built out. Nowadays, rough-terrain forklifts can lift bricks and lumber, construction equipment and roofing supplies. A pickup truck weight can be lifted to the top of a four-story building!

After the invention of electric forklifts, rechargeable batteries were also designed to keep these forklifts last for about eight hours.

The power source is another important element of the forklift. This can consist of a battery pack or an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline, diesel fuel or liquid propane.

Forklifts are part of an Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) classification called industrial trucks. Many of the forklift classifications are determined by things like the terrain they drive on, the types of forklift wheels, and power sources.

For safety purposes, forklifts were equipped with operator safety restraints in the 1980s. Forklifts can be dangerous, so all operators must pass an official safety certification program to receive a forklift license.
