As the market for rough terrain forklifts has emerged so has the requirement for straight mast forklifts. Their demand and emergence has leveled over the last ten years because of the explosion of telescopic handlers. Now, forklift makers are focusing their product development on the core function of the lift truck.
These models for instance offer a lift capacity under 6,000 lbs have increased in price on average of 2.45% to around $46,000 per equipment. Other types of equipment within the category's bulk class ranging from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Equipment purchasers will rapidly point out only if their actual expenses are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel unit equipment have risen to more than 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may not seem all that different, when the machinery has left the sales yard and enters the client's work space, it must produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the past ten years in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are might just be the future that this kind of machinery is evolving to. The task of a telehandler is to place a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift remains the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
Omega is a multi-line maker that provides a whole variety of rough-terrain forklift families. They have established the Mega Series, that consist of of larger vertical-mast units. These units offer lifting capacities ranging 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 complete this task. The more complex and larger machines required, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
