A rough terrain forklift is a type of material handling equipment specifically designed to operate on uneven, rugged, and challenging surfaces such as construction sites, lumber yards, and agricultural settings. Unlike standard forklifts, these machines feature larger, treaded pneumatic tires that provide enhanced stability and traction on off-road surfaces. They are built with a robust frame and a powerful engine to handle heavy loads and navigate inclines, ruts, and varied ground conditions. Rough terrain forklifts often come with all-wheel drive and may include features like telescoping booms, allowing them to move materials in areas where traditional forklifts cannot operate efficiently.
