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. Now, manufacturers of lift trucks are focusing their product development on the core function of the forklift.
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 machinery. Other types of machinery within the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Buyers of machines would rapidly point out only if their real expenses are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel model machines have risen to over 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 equipment has left the sales yard and enters the customer's work space, it must produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the last ten years in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are might just be the future that this specific kind of machine 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.
The manufacturer Omega makes many different lines of lift machines and a whole array of rough-terrain forklifts. The Mega Series is an established line that consist of of bigger vertical-mast units. These models provide lifting capacities that range 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 bigger and more complex machines needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
