Best Selling Forklifts of All Time

Forklifts are exceptionally important pieces of material handling equipment for warehouse owners. Regardless of the industry people are working in, they’ll often find that a forklift is extremely versatile and efficient at lifting, transporting and unloading stock, whether it be for manufacturing, construction, shipping or even retail.

As this aspect of safely moving heavy loads is remarkably paramount for countless industries, it’s imperative that the right forklift is chosen to do the job and this can often depend on the application you need it for.

However, there are several brands on the market, many of which are available from us here at Multy Lift, that will provide you with many years of smooth, effective and uninterrupted service. So which forklift manufacturers should you opt for when choosing a machine that’s right for your business operations and why?

Toyota Material Handling

With the first of Toyota’s forklifts being manufactured in 1939, it’s no wonder that they have become one of the best-selling, most popular forklift brands across the globe. They have spent several decades improving the robustness, reliability and comfortability of their vehicles, making Toyota forklifts into what they are today – incredibly powerful, efficient and trustworthy.

As of 2022, Toyota is able to offer at least four different forklift models, ranging in size, lifting capabilities and loading capacities. The smallest model being a 24-V Electric CB truck with a weight capacity of 1.5 tonnes and a maximum lift height of 6.5 metres – impressive considering it’s a three-wheeled electric forklift.

The largest forklift model available from Toyota is a High-Tonnage 80-V forklift which has four wheels, can load up to 8 tonnes of stock and can subsequently lift that stock to around 7 metres. These are commonly used in high-intensity applications where extremely heavy loads are handled and it can even be used outdoors.

You’ll be able to purchase a Toyota forklift from Multy Lift for a reasonable price. Where Toyota likes to shout about their electric vehicles, you’ll also be able to buy diesel and LPG Toyota forklifts.

Linde Forklift Trucks

Linde forklifts can handle impressive loads, being able to lift stock that weighs anywhere between 1,000 and 8,000 kilograms. With precise and agile loading and lifting capacities, it isn;t surprising to learn that they’re one of the best-selling forklifts in the world.

Having spent several decades working on improving their machines, Linde forklifts are now one of the most powerful material handling vehicles around, making short work of loading, lifting and transporting stock from one location to another.

All models are user-friendly, comfortable and simple to operate, although the correct forklift training should still be given to your employees to ensure a safe working environment. Their electric machines, especially, are extremely eco-friendly, so you can lower your carbon footprint as well as enhance warehouse operations with a Linde Forklift.

You’ll be able to buy a Linde forklift from us here at Multy Lift, and all for an affordable price.
