Safely Lift and Transport Heavy Loads Indoors with an Electric Rider – Part 2

Forklifts

An electric rider does all the heavy lifting for you.

Electric Rider Lift Codes

Electric riders are divided into categories or lift codes. They are available in lift code numbers 1, 4, 5 and 6.

Electric riders under lift code 1 are stand up forklifts. These lift trucks have their counterbalance weights integrated within the body of the vehicle.

Electric riders under lift codes 4, 5 and 6, on the other hand, are sit down forklifts. The counterbalance weights of these lift trucks are located at the rear end of the vehicles.

Counterbalance is important to prevent forklifts from overturning when lifting heavy loads. Because electric riders are counterbalanced, they are also known as counterbalance forklifts.

Most electric riders can safely carry loads of 3000-4000 pounds at a time. With an electric rider, you can quickly take care of any heavy lifting and use your manpower for other more important tasks.
