How do I choose the right capacity forklift?

Forklifts are rated by their maximum lifting capacity in pounds (e.g., 5,000 lbs). Determine the weight of your heaviest typical load and rent a forklift with a capacity that comfortably exceeds that weight. Remember that the capacity decreases at higher lift heights and with attachments.

What is the difference between pneumatic and cushion tires?

Cushion tires are solid rubber tires pressed directly onto the wheel. They are best for indoor use on smooth surfaces like concrete. Pneumatic tires are air-filled, similar to car tires, providing a better grip and a smoother ride on uneven or outdoor surfaces like asphalt or gravel.

What is 'lift height'?

Lift height, or maximum fork height, is the highest point the forks can reach. Ensure the forklift's mast can lift high enough to reach your tallest racking or loading height.
