Mining and ConstructionFrom steel mills to mining and construction sites durability, reliability, a tighter turning radius and increased maneuverability are key big truck design features for efficient load handling while decreasing the cost of operations. For rough terrain and rugged use requiring varying weight capacities, optimum performance is dependent upon a superior frame and mast design and the inclusion of safety features such as elimination of inching and rock-back and state of the art driver comfort, ergonomics and enhanced visibility.
Due to the wide number of tasks and applications, there are a variety of different forklift attachments available that enable the lift truck to be used for many different purposes. External cameras provide additional visibility and load control while bucket attachments (also known as front-end loaders) allow lift trucks to carry smaller, pallet-less loads like dirt and gravel.
