Description of a forklift truck
A forklift truck is a powered vehicle used for transporting or handling loads with the aid of
tools specific to the task to be carried out. The forklift is able to lift loads. It consists of a
resistant chassis resting upon two axles. The front axle is the drive axle and the rear axle
the steering axle, although versions exist in which both axles are driving axles.
At the front of the forklift there is a mast, along it moves the front carriage. The unit
formed by both is designed to lift and tilt the load forwards and backwards, making
handling easier .
