How Many Classes of Forklifts Are There?

[Jose Saad]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to learn more about forklifts and their classifications. How many classes of forklifts are there, and what are their differences? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

There are seven forklift classes, each designed for different uses—kind of like the Seven Dwarfs, but with more lifting and less singing. From electric motor lifts to rough terrain beasts, it all depends on what kind of work you need done. Are you looking for a specific type?

Great breakdown! Each class definitely has its own purpose. If you're working indoors, Class I or II electric forklifts are super common, but if you're handling heavy loads outdoors, those rough terrain beasts in Class VII are the way to go. Are you looking to buy or just learning?
