No warehouseman can imagine working without these small smart devices. They are a great help in warehouse work for moving pallets, among other things. There are both electric and gas powered vehicles. In this category you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with these two types of carts, and of course color them.

Information
The first prototypes of these machines appeared as early as the 1920s. At one time several companies released them on the market. The construction of the machine is very simple. It consists of a frame, chassis, engine and, of course, forks without which the vehicle would not be useful.
It is very often referred to as a forklift truck. Depending on the model, it has a lifting capacity of a few tons, although there are also machines that can lift several tens of tons and easily move such a load to another place in the warehouse or during the unloading of goods.
Trivia
- An invention from the Late 19th Century: The first forklift was designed in the 1880s by George B. Selden. Its design was based on the use of a lever and a hydraulic mechanism to lift loads.
- Versatility of Applications: Forklifts are widely used in various industries and sectors of the economy, from warehouses, manufacturing and seaports to construction and logistics.
- Various Types: There are different types of forklifts, including diesel, electric and gas forklifts. Each has its own unique characteristics and applications.
- Basic Elements: A forklift consists of three main components: chassis, drive and forks (forks). The latter are responsible for lifting and carrying loads.
- Lifting Capacity: Forklifts have the ability to lift loads to a considerable height, thanks to a hydraulic mechanism. Some models can lift loads several meters.
- Safety: Safety is key when working with forklifts. Operators must be trained to avoid accidents related to moving loads.
- Trick With Drink: It is interesting to note that sometimes forklifts are used in commercials and shows as "invisible" by covering their forks by transparent items such as drinks or glasses.
- Speed and Maneuverability: Modern forklifts are designed to be both fast and easy to maneuver. This allows them to move efficiently inside warehouses and production halls.
- Automation: Increasingly, forklifts are being equipped with automation technologies, such as driverless or remote control, to improve efficiency and safety.
- Organic Versions: In response to the growing interest in environmental protection, electric or gas versions of forklifts are also being developed, which emit fewer pollutants and are more energy-efficient.
