What are counterbalance forklifts?

Counterbalance forklifts are the most commonly used forklifts in Australia today. They are named thusly because they use weight, placed in the rear of the forklift, to ‘counterweight’ the loads carried.

You’ll see counterbalance forklifts in use at numerous Australian warehouses, docks and storage facilities. They feature two front-facing dual prongs and no complex out-rigging. This means they can be driven right up to cargo, pallets or racking. There they can be used to simply pick-up, secure and transport loads.

Most organisations use counterbalance forklifts due to their ease of operation. Flexibility. And durability. They are suitable for most general purpose uses and can be tailored for specific applications.
