Straight mast lift trucks have emerged with the market for rough terrain lift tricks. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the last ten years. Currently, manufacturers of forklifts are focusing their product development on the core function of the lift truck.
These models for example provide a lift capacity below 6,000 lbs have increased in price on average of 2.45% to around $46,000 per machinery. Other machinery within the category's bulk class ranging from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Equipment purchasers would quickly point out only if their real expenses are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel unit equipment have risen to over 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may not seem all that different, as soon as the equipment has left the sales yard and enters the work space of the purchaser, it should produce on a large scale.
Over the past decade, the rough terrain lift truck market has waned due to the increase in telescopic-handler purchases. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this specific kind of machine is evolving to. The telehandler's task is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The manufacturer Omega makes a lot of different lines of lift equipment and a whole variety of rough-terrain lift trucks. The Mega Series is an established line consisting of larger vertical-mast units. These units offer lifting capacities that range from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to enable lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was made to do this job. The bigger and more complex equipment needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
