What is a forklift?
A forklift is a powerful truck that lifts, moves, and transports heavy goods. Essential for managing heavy loads in warehouses and industrial sites, forklifts come in various types and can accommodate a range of attachments.
Are there financing or leasing options available for new forklifts?
Adaptalift works with businesses of all sizes in New Zealand and Australia. We know that not everyone has the budget for a new forklift fleet. To help with this, we offer credit applications for new clients. You can also rent the machines from us on a short-term or long-term basis.
How do I choose the right forklift?
Every forklift we stock has a clear carrying height and load capacity. You can use this to work out your warehouse or workplace’s forklift needs. If you’re still unsure, get in touch with the Adaptalift team. We’ll help you figure out which model suits your workplace and budget.
How much does a forklift cost?
A brand-new forklift could cost between NZ$20,000 and NZ$100,000. There are five factors behind this: lift height, capacity, fuel type, manufacturer, and add-ons. Renting or buying a new forklift with Adaptalift could help navigate the costs.
What is meant by load centre distance?
The load centre distance is the horizontal difference from the forklift’s vertical mast to the centre of the load. Calculating the load centre distance is crucial for ensuring the forklift is lifting materials safely and the machine is stable. The average load centre distance is 500mm for standard forklifts.
How are forklifts powered?
Adaptalift offers electric, diesel, LPG, and hybrid-powered forklifts. Choosing an electric or hybrid forklift truck keeps your costs low while reducing emissions. Choose a forklift depending on your operational needs.
