Lift Truck

A lift truck, also known as a forklift or a powered industrial truck, is a material handling equipment used for lifting and moving heavy loads within a warehouse or a manufacturing facility. It is equipped with hydraulic forks that can lift pallets or other heavy objects and move them around with ease.
