There are two main types of forklifts in the warehouse industry. The first type is the truck-mounted forklift. This means that the lift has an open cab, and you sit on a seat inside it. You control the lift by turning a hand wheel and pressing buttons on the control panel. The second type is an accordion or stacker forklift. This type has a cab that folds down when not in use, making this kind of lift more compact than other types.
There are three different styles in which these forklifts fold up: side-fold, front-fold and rear-folding. The side-fold style lifts have their cabs fold down from one side, like an accordion, to make them more compact for storage or transporting materials in smaller spaces such as trucks or warehouses. The front-fold style has the cab fold up to the front of the forklift for easy storage. The rear-folding style folds up from the back of the lift so that it is easy to store it or load it on a truck.
