Class: 1
Fuel Type: Electric
Use: These trucks are powered by an electric motor. The operator may sit or stand when operating the vehicle. One group of Class 1 trucks are counter-balanced models that have a large weight in the rear designed to counterbalance the weight of the loads. Other sub-groups are defined by the number of tires (3 or 4) or the type of tires. Cushion tires are used indoors on smooth, level surfaces. Pneumatic tires are useful outdoors and on rougher terrain. Electric trucks are desirable for enclosed areas when fuel fumes cause difficulties. Common examples are the stand up rider or the electric-powered versions of the sit down rider.JTVCZmMlMjBpZCUzRCUyNzE0JTI3JTIwYWxpZ24lM0QlMjdjZW50ZXIlMjclNUQlNUIlMkZmYyU1RA==

Operating forklifts in cold storage facilities presents several challenges that can limit the success of operators and companies. Efficiencies in forklift use become even more challenging when a forklift is placed in alternate temperature environments in the same operation, whether for storage or operation. To make sure you have the best facility design and forklifts for your workplace and application, you should talk to a consultant familiar with your industry generally and your operation specifically to help fill gaps, enhance safety, and increase efficiencies.
