As the market for rough terrain lift trucks has emerged so has the need for straight mast forklifts. Their demand and emergence has leveled over the last 10 years thanks to explosion of telescopic handlers. Currently, lift truck makers are focusing their product development on the lift truck's core function.
These models for example provide a lift capacity under 6,000 lbs have increased in price on average of 2.45% to approximately $46,000 per machine. 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.
With units which depend upon diesel fuel, hourly expenses in those 2 classes have risen 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag might not seem all that different, as soon as the machine has left the sales yard and enters the client's work space, it should produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the past 10 years in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this particular kind of machinery is evolving to. The telehandler's job is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain lift truck continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The manufacturer Omega produces many different lines of lift machines and a complete array of rough-terrain lift trucks. The Mega Series is an established line that consist of of larger vertical-mast units. These units provide lifting capacities varying from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to allow lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was made to complete this job. The larger and more complex machines needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
