A lift truck, commonly known as a forklift, is a powered industrial vehicle used in the material handling industry to lift, move, and transport materials over short distances. It is equipped with two pronged forks at the front, designed to slide under pallets and other cargo for lifting. Lift trucks come in various types and capacities to accommodate different operational needs, such as counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and pallet jacks. They are essential in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers, significantly enhancing efficiency by enabling the quick and safe movement of heavy loads. These vehicles can be powered by internal combustion engines or electric batteries, depending on the operational environment and requirements.
