Straight mast lift trucks have emerged with the market for rough terrain lift tricks. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the last decade. At present, manufacturers of forklifts are focusing their product development on the core function of the lift truck.
Like for instance, units that offer a lift capacity of less than 6000 pounds on average are up to 2.45% to a bit over $46,000. Other types of machines in the category's bulk class ranging from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Equipment purchasers would quickly point out only if their real costs are up ever so slightly.
Hourly costs of diesel model equipment have risen to over 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may not seem all that different, as soon as the machinery has left the sales yard and enters the client's work space, it should produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the last decade in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this kind of machine is evolving to. The job of a telehandler is to place a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The manufacturer Omega makes many different lines of lift machines and a complete variety of rough-terrain forklifts. The Mega Series is an established line consisting of larger vertical-mast models. These models offer lifting capacities varying from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to enable lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was developed to do this task. The more complex and bigger machinery required, the more specialized that OEMs such as Omega become.
