A forklift (also called lift truck, jitney, fork truck, fork hoist, and forklift truck) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials over short distances.
Forklifts are rated for loads at a specified maximum weight and a specified forward center of gravity. This information is located on a nameplate provided by the manufacturer, and loads must not exceed these specifications. In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to alter or remove the nameplate without the permission of the forklift manufacturer.
The following is a list, in no particular order, of the more common lift truck types:
Hand pallet truck – no onboard power system of any kind; the operator's muscle power is used to jack-up and move loads.
Walkie low lift truck– powered pallet truck, usually electrically powered
Rider low lift truc – usually electrically powered
Towing tractor – may be internal combustion engine or electrically powered
Walkie stacker– usually electrically powered
Rider stacker– usually electrically powered
Reach truck – variant on a Rider Stacker forklift, designed for small aisles, usually Electrically Powered, named because the forks can extend to reach the load. There are two variants, moving carriage, which is common in North America, and moving mast which is common in the rest of the world, and generally regarded as safer
Electric counterbalanced truck– comes in Stand on End Control, Stand on Center Control, and Sit Down Center Control, which is the most numerous
