What are Forklift Trucks?

Forklift trucks, also known as fork trucks, refer to industrial machines comprised of the truck frame, counterweight, forklift, carriage, and hydraulic cylinders. They are usually operated by trained machinists and either powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) or electric batteries. They are cost-effective, user-friendly, powerful, easy to use and maintain, and assist in loading, unloading, and transporting goods and materials over short distances efficiently. Besides this, they aid in enhancing overall operational efficiency by performing multiple industrial and non-industrial tasks. As a result, forklift trucks are widely employed in the automotive, aerospace, transportation, manufacturing, and construction industries across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the forklift trucks industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. Due to the lockdown, many production plants shut down their manufacturing operations. There were disruptions in supply chains due to the shortage of raw materials across the globe. In addition, several restrictions from central and state authorities on borders and road movements have impacted the domestic supply chains for a short period of time. Warehouse and distribution activities of various goods have been impacted due to trade impediments. The rapid spread of the COVID-19 impacted the demand for forklift trucks from various industries and in return, posed a negative impact on the profit margin of forklift trucks. Apart from this, various construction projects have been canceled or delayed amid the pandemic. Many countries also have limited ocean shipments from severely impacted countries due to the outbreak. However, after the reopening of lockdown and various businesses, the demand for forklift trucks is increasing around the world.
