Knowing how to drive a car isn’t enough to know how to operate a forklift. They are completely different machines that require totally different skill sets and knowledge. Forklifts are operated indoors and out, and oftentimes in tight, narrow work environments. Workers need specific training to learn how to operate the machinery, avoid specific hazards, and prevent accidents that can cause injuries and fatalities.

Forklift training is the difference between workers knowing how to protect their lives and avoid dangers, and workers that become involved in unnecessary accidents.

What are the different types of forklifts?

Industrial Reach Forklift Trucks.
Industrial Counterbalance Forklifts.
Rough Terrain Forklifts.
Industrial Side Loader Forklifts.
Telescopic Handler Forklifts.
Pedestrian Operated Pallet Trucks.

Forklifts come in many different shapes and sizes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Below are some of the more common forklift types that Masslift sell and hire.

4 Wheel Counterbalance

The most common forklift on the market. They are straight forward forklifts with dual forks in the front and used to lift heavy loads. All three fuel types being Electric, Diesel & LP Gas come in the 4-wheel option. Capacities vary from 1.5 - 25 Tons pending on the fuel type with masts as high as 7m.

Wheel Electric Counterbalance Forklift

Exactly the same as 4-wheel counterbalance forklifts but the back wheels are closer together in the centre of the frame for improved turning ability. Used primarily where space constraints are a factor, like the narrow aisle warehouses. Ideal for 3.2m - 3.5m aisles.

Reach Trucks Forklift

Built to lift loads up to heights of 13m, these machines allow warehouses to use very high aisle setups and ultimately save space with narrow spacing between aisles (roughly 2.6m-3.1m). With Mitsubishi, you can choose between a Stand-On and Sit-On Reach Truck. The Reach Truck capacities vary from 0.9 Tons - 3.0 Tons with the 1.4 Ton and 2 Ton being the most common option. Like all warehousing equipment, Reach Trucks can only be used indoors and must work on clean flat surfaces.

Power Pallet Forklift Trucks

An electric version of the popular Pallet Jack also known as a Pump Truck. These machines help you manoeuvre pallets or other heavy goods quickly and easily within a warehouse and can lift up to 100m off the ground.

Stackers Forklift

Stackers are like Power Pallet Trucks but with a mast allowing the ability to lift pallets to a maximum height of 5.4m They are also known for their ease of use and are cheaper than conventional forklifts. This product is great to use in smaller warehouses. There are two types of Stackers offered depending on the pallet type used being, ‘Fork Over’ and ‘Straddle Stackers’.

Order Pickers Forklift

Order pickers are designed for “Hand Picking” rather than moving full pallets. They allow personnel to quickly and efficiently pick orders in a warehouse. The basic model will lift the platform to the second row of racking (1-2m). High-level order pickers can elevate the worker to a picking height of 11.5m allowing them to reach products stored in higher positions.

Rough Terrain Forklift

Rough Terrain forklifts are built to operate in rough uneven conditions such as gravel, sand and even muddy surfaces. The main difference between the conventional forklift and a Rough Terrain forklift is that the latter has a suspension.

Articulated Forklift

Articulated forklifts allow for very narrow aisles (1.5 - 2m wide). This is because they do not have to right angle stack as the mast can articulate into either side of the racking. Masslift offers the Combilift Aisle-Master which has a maximum mast height of 12.1m.

The question of service capabilities is more often than not a question that most customers will ask in the forklift industry. At Masslift Africa we welcome this question because what makes our answer different to the rest of our competitors is that the culture instilled in each one of our employees is that of service excellence.

The Service Excellence culture:

Customers ease of doing business with Masslift Africa
Problem resolution
Availability and response
Relationships
Communication
Contract and fleet management
Value for money- cost control and innovation.

At Masslift Africa we don’t just believe in service, we understand it and live it every day with our customers and staff. Masslift Africa is privately owned, which means that service issues are dealt with by highly motivated and skilled staff that have direct access to shareholders/directors so that no customer has to work through incompetent call centres and layers of junior and middle management. We believe this to be our major competitive advantage because, in the materials handling industry, service response & repair time is key. By sidestepping multi-layered organograms and red tape encountered in most corporates, decisions can be made instantly, reducing response time and customer frustration considerably.

We are committed to evolving and empowering our employees and are therefore constantly upgrading our local and international training programs in order to keep up with the high standards our customers have come to expect from us. We offer apprenticeship programs to pass on the knowledge and we look for potential growth and opportunity for those willing to learn and grow within the organization.

Our technicians are also equipped with all tools to get the job done as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our vehicles have also been modified to a suit our specifications, allowing our technicians to carry van stock that has been systematically chosen. This ensures quicker response times and minimal delay in getting machines operational. All vehicles are controlled and monitored through a fleet management system which keeps track of our technicians’ whereabouts and ensures that we dispatch the closest or soonest available technician.

This allows us to commit to a guaranteed 4 hours response time, which we back by offering our customer’s 50% off their monthly maintenance charge if that commitment is not met.

Workshop Warranty

This includes all servicing, major repairs as well as any refurbishment of our customer’s current internal combustion and electric forklifts.
