Straight mast lift trucks have emerged with the market for rough terrain forklifts. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the past decade. Currently, forklift manufactures are focusing their product development on the lift truck's core function.
Like for example, models that provide a lift capacity of less than 6000 pounds on average are up to 2.45% to a bit over $46,000. Other types of machinery in the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Purchasers of machinery would rapidly point out only if their actual costs are up ever so slightly.
With units that depend upon diesel fuel, hourly expenses in those 2 classes have increased 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag might not seem all that different, once the machine has left the sales yard and enters the work space of the client, it should produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the last decade 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 lift truck continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
Omega is a multi-line manufacturer who provides a whole array of rough-terrain forklift families. They have established the Mega Series, which consist of larger vertical-mast units. These models 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 made to complete this task. The more complex and larger equipment needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
