As the market for rough terrain lift trucks has emerged so has the demand for straight mast lift trucks. Their demand and emergence has leveled over the past 10 years thanks to explosion of telescopic handlers. Now, manufacturers of lift trucks are focusing their product development on the lift truck's core function.
Like for example, models which provide a lift capacity of less than 6000 pounds on average are up to 2.45% to a bit more than $46,000. Other machines in the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Buyers of equipment will rapidly point out only if their actual expenses are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel model machinery have risen to more than 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may 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.
Over the past 10 years, the rough terrain lift truck market has decreased due to the increase in telescopic-handler purchases. The telescopic handlers are might just be the future that this particular kind of equipment is evolving to. The telehandler's task is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift remains the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The manufacturer Omega produces lots of different lines of lift machines and a whole range of rough-terrain forklifts. The Mega Series is an established line that consist of of larger vertical-mast units. These models offer lifting capacities which vary 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 developed to complete this job. The more complex and bigger equipment needed, the more specialized that OEMs such as Omega become.
