Straight mast lift trucks have emerged with the market for rough terrain lift tricks. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the past 10 years. Presently, manufacturers of lift trucks are focusing their product development on the lift truck's core function.
These units for instance offer a lift capacity below 6,000 lbs have risen in price on average of 2.45% to around $46,000 per equipment. Other machinery in the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Machine buyers would quickly point out only if their real costs are up ever so slightly.
With models that depend on diesel fuel, hourly expenses in those 2 classes have risen 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may not seem all that different, when the machine has left the sales yard and enters the work space of the customer, it needs to produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain lift truck market has leveled off rapidly over the past ten years in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this specific type of machinery is evolving to. The telehandler's task is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift remains the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The company Omega makes many different lines of lift machines and a complete array of rough-terrain forklifts. The Mega Series is an established line consisting of larger vertical-mast units. These models provide lifting capacities varying from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to allow lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was made to complete this task. The bigger and more complex equipment required, the more specialized that OEMs such as Omega become.
