Straight mast forklifts have emerged with the market for rough terrain lift tricks. They have leveled off in the wake of the telescopic handler explosion of the last decade. Currently, manufacturers of lift trucks are focusing their product development on the core function of the forklift.
These units for example provide a lift capacity below 6,000 lbs have risen in price on average of 2.45% to about $46,000 per machinery. Other machinery within the category's bulk class varying from 6000 pounds to 10,000 pounds in capacity are up 3.15% to $54,177. Buyers of equipment would quickly point out only if their actual costs are up ever so slightly.
Hourly expenses of diesel unit equipment have increased to over 81.6% and 84.3% respectively. Even if the prices on the dealer's tag may not seem all that different, once the machinery has left the sales yard and enters the client's work space, it should produce on a large scale.
The rough-terrain forklift market has leveled off fast over the past decade in the wake of the telescopic-handler explosion. The telescopic handlers are may just be the future that this particular kind of equipment is evolving to. The telehandler's task is placing a load with a long reach. The rough-terrain forklift continues to be the heavyweight champ when it comes to pure grunt lifting.
The company Omega makes many different lines of lift machinery and a complete range of rough-terrain lift trucks. The Mega Series is an established line consisting of larger vertical-mast units. These models offer lifting capacities varying from 8000 pounds all the way up to 20,000 pounds. The next step was to enable lifting capacities up to 50,000 pound and the HERC Series was made to do this task. The larger and more complex equipment needed, the more specialized that OEMs like Omega become.
