Straight mast lift trucks have emerged with the market for rough terrain lift tricks. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the last 10 years. Currently, forklift manufactures are focusing their product development on the core function of the lift truck.
These models for example offer a lift capacity under 6,000 lbs have increased in price on average of 2.45% to about $46,000 per machinery. Other machines in the category's bulk class ranging from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Machine buyers would quickly point out only if their real 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 might not seem all that different, when the machinery has left the sales yard and enters the work space of the purchaser, it should produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain forklift market has leveled off rapidly over the past 10 years in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are might just be the future that this type of equipment is evolving to. The telehandler's job is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift 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 models. These models provide lifting capacities ranging 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 task. The more complex and bigger machinery needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
