Since the very first model forklift was made in the 1920s, it has become a vital equipment in almost every manufacturing setting and warehouse throughout the globe. Proper training is necessary in order to use a forklift. Since these machines utilize rear-wheel drive, it is important to learn this skill before using one. Furthermore, as a forklift lifts heavy loads at its front, the center of gravity of the machinery is always changing and this can leave the equipment very unstable.

Forklifts share some specific components even though most forklift makes and models are somewhat different. The forklift operator sits in a protected vehicle cab with metal overhead roof. On the forklift's front the mast is situated. This contraption raises and lowers the cargo using hydraulic cylinders. Forklifts are powered either by IC or internal combustion or batteries. If an internal combustion engine is utilized, additional counterweights should be utilized at the forklift's back. If a battery is used, it sits in the rear of the forklift as a counterbalance.
