Definition and Features

A counterbalance forklift is a forklift with a large counterweight to offset the load. This design allows the forklift to lift and move heavier weights without tipping. Unlike other common types of forklifts, such as a reach truck, the counterbalance forklift doesn’t have extending support legs. It relies on its counterweight. This type of forklift is good for many tasks because of its stability, ease of use, and ability to move heavier weights than reach trucks. The operator can easily maneuver the forklift to lift and move items within a warehouse or other industrial area, improving logistics and operational efficiency while ensuring the proper surface is used.

Key Features of Counterbalance Forklifts

Counterbalance forklifts have several key features, including a high lift capacity, that make them a popular choice for many applications in material handling. These are:

• Load capacity, lift height, and lift capacity are crucial factors in selecting the right forklift for the job.
• Power source (electric or diesel)

Electric counterbalance models are good for indoor use because of zero emissions, while diesel models are better for outdoor use. They don’t need support legs to balance like counterbalance forklifts and reach trucks.
