A forklift truck, also known as a lift truck or fork truck, is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials short distances. The main functions of a forklift truck include lifting, lowering, and transporting materials within a facility. These trucks come with various technological features such as electric, gas, or diesel-powered engines, programmable controllers for precise lifting and movement, and advanced safety features like anti-roll-over protection.
