A forklift is a powerful industrial vehicle that is designed to lift and move heavy materials over short distances. Its main purpose is to maneuver, stack, and retrieve goods, which are often stored on pallets, by efficiently moving, stacking, and retrieving goods using powered platforms that can be raised or lowered by forklifts, usually through hydraulic systems and steel forks. These machines are critical for handling materials, ensuring the safe movement of inventory within logistics and supply chains across regions and industries.
The forklift market is expanding rapidly as e-commerce and manufacturing activities grow. This is because more products are being transported from the storage warehouse to the other parts of the factory or warehouse. The rise in e-commerce, particularly in North America and Asia, is significantly contributing to the expansion of the forklift market. The adoption of eco-friendly methods has led to increased demand for autonomous forklifts in the market.
Class 3 forklifts, such as electric motor hand trucks, currently possess the largest market share. The electric forklift currently has the largest market share in the power category because it is more environmentally friendly and economical. The Asia Pacific region currently has the largest market share and is also the fastest-growing region.
