Rough terrain forklifts are perfect for a variety of outdoor construction and loading needs. A rough terrain forklift is often used to carry materials like lumber, bricks, steel beams, and concrete, among others. A rough terrain forklift differs from a normal forklift in two major ways: they are operated by internal combustion engines, and they have inflatable tires with thick tread that allows operators to drive them over uneven or loose terrain.
A rough terrain forklift is a strong rugged vehicle. Many heavy-duty rough terrain forklifts can carry several tons of material at a time. They are carefully calibrated to provide a counterbalance at the back of the lift that keeps the load from making the lift tip forward. Some models of rough terrain forklifts have four-wheel drive as well as four wheel steering. Most rough terrain forklifts have a hydraulic system that lifts and lowers the forks.
Internal combustion engines power rough terrain forklifts. These engines provide more power than electric engines, allowing for greater acceleration and speed. Different internal combustion engines run on different fuels. Gasoline, liquid propane, compressed natural gas, and diesel are the most common. Diesel is the cheapest, but it is not as commonly found as gasoline. One additional advantage of internal combustion engines is that they significantly reduce refueling time.
The tires on a rough terrain forklift are important. Rough terrain forklifts are able to ride over uneven ground because of the traction that the tires provide. Some rough terrain forklifts are equipped with tires that allow people to drive them over rocks, wood, sand, mud, snow, and ice, making them virtually unstoppable. Most of these tires fill with air like conventional tires found on cars and trucks, but some are solid rubber.
A rough terrain forklift is a great addition to any construction site. Forklifts make it possible for operators to transport tons of material over hazardous ground.
