PRE-OWNED INVENTORY
Your #1 Source for Quality Used Lifts!
Outdoor Forklifts...
Also known as Pneumatic Tired Lifts:
Pneumatic : Air filled tires that are designed to be used either inside or outside. These tires are a taller tire that provides additional ground clearance for the forklift and makes the unit more versatile in most applications. These tires are available in a Solid Pneumatic version as well. These tires work well where flats on air tires are a problem but ride quality is typically sacrificed.
Rough Terrain: Tires that are a tractor type tires and allow usage in loose dirt and muddy applications. The most common use for Rough Terrain tire lifts are construction, agricultural and lumber facilities. Rough Terrain tire forklifts are typically larger units and are more difficult to maneuver inside buildings.

Cushion tired forklifts have a solid industrial tire, made mostly for indoor, or light outdoor usage on asphalt only.
They are the perfect forklift for indoor warehouse type applications.
Cushion tire forklifts have a smaller chassis and sit much lower to the ground. So these can get hung up very easily.
If your business is involved in working in cold (cold storage or freezers, for example), you must use an electric forklift. An LPG forklift emits gas fumes and heat that will actually raise the level of the temperature in the area in which it is being operated.
If, however, you are using your forklift outside where it could possibly rain or snow, LPG is strongly recommended as an electric forklift can short out if it gets wet.
In general, an electric forklift is quieter and does not emit fumes, but requires recharging time (which could be substantial, depending on how much it has been used and the voltage of electricity available), while an LPG requires that you get the tank refilled (we recommend that you always have a full spare tank on the premises).
Kansas Forklift offers a wide range of warehouse products including shelving, bulk storage, rivet racking, wire shelving, selective pallet racking, high density storage, automatic storage and retrieval, cantilever racks and plastic storage containers.

When talking about forklifts, you usually center around two main specifications. The vehicle's lift capacity and its vertical lift travel. The lift capacity bears reference to the maximum load that the lift can accommodate; while the vertical lift travel expresses the distance between the lift in the totally raised and lowered positions.
Forklifts can be grouped into five classes:
Class 1: Three wheeled unit powered by and electric motor. Operator can be in the seated or standing position (sit-down units are counterbalanced.) Class 1 lift trucks can be fitted with cushion or pneumatic tires.
Class 2: These are powered by an electric motor this class of truck is suited to narrow isle work typical of inventory shuffling. There is the option of installing extra reach/swing mast applications.
Class 3: Also powered by an electric motor this class usually has the operator "walk behind" it or alternatively is operated while in the standing position. Both the high lift and automated pallet models are counterbalanced.
Class 4: This counterbalanced class of forklift has a cab with controls and runs on an internal combustion engine. The tires are most often cushioned or solid.
Class 5: This counterbalanced class of lift truck has a cab built to sit a driver, and is powered by an internal combustion engine. The whole vehicle is mounted on pneumatic tires.
You also have different types of "tired" lifts. They are normally classed as a "cushion tire", "pneumatic tire" or "solid-pneumatic tire".
The cushion tire is basically a thin piece of rubber on a rim that is used primarily on smaller forklifts that are used in warehouses and on smooth, flat surfaces. This kind of tire isn't recommended on a forklift that is going to be used outside on rough ground.
The pneumatic tire is made up just like a normal vehicle tire. Although it's outer shell is a thicker rubber, it's got air inside. This kind of tire will allow you to go on regular outside terrain as well as inside. The only downside to this type tire is that it can be punctured just as a normal tire can.
