What Are Large Forklifts Called?

[Mr.PrimeMover888]

Hey! I've seen some really big forklifts used for heavy lifting in industries like shipping and construction. Is there a specific name for these larger forklifts? Are there different types based on their capacity or use case? Any insights would be appreciated!

Yeah! The really big forklifts are often called heavy-duty forklifts or industrial forklifts, but depending on what they’re lifting, you might hear terms like container handlers, telehandlers, or reach stackers (especially in shipping yards). What kind of heavy lifting are you looking into?
