Walkies make a fine addition to any plant or warehouse.
Types of Walkies
Walkies are also known as class 3 forklifts. They are formally categorized into eight lift codes numbered 1 to 8.
Regardless of its many lift codes, walkies are generally divided into three main groups: walkie stackers, walkie reach stackers and counterbalanced walkies.
* Walkie Stackers
Walkie stackers are light duty forklifts with a lift capacity of 1500 lbs to 4000 lbs. The forks on these lift trucks can only move vertically — upward and downward.
* Walkie Reach Stackers
Walkie reach stackers are upgraded versions of the walkie stacker. The forks on these units may be tilted for better maneuverability. Some models come equipped with a side shift and may be fitted with rotators, clamps and other accessories.
Walkie reach stackers have a lift capacity of 3000 lbs to 4000 lbs.
* Counterbalanced Walkies
Counterbalanced walkies have a different build compared to walkie stackers and walkie reach stackers. They have longer bodies and do not have front legs.
Counterbalanced walkies can lift loads at floor level and offer better stability when raising pallets at higher levels.
Walikes make the lifting and stacking of pallets faster, easier and more manageable. Big or small, any warehouse will benefit having a walkie forklift on hand!
