Just like many other inventions, the forklift was born out of
necessity. The two-wheel hand operated forklift first appeared
over one hundred years ago. These original units were wrought-
iron axle and cast iron wheels which enabled loads to be lifted
and transported without manual labor. In the early 1900s the
evolution to combine horizontal and vertical motion resulted in
the first hand operated forklift capable of lifting a few inches of
the ground. And with this the development of the forklift are on
fastrack till today.
In 1917 the Clark Company, manufacturers of axles, created a
truck called the Tructractor to move materials around their factory.
As people visited the factory and saw the Tructractor at work they
placed orders from Clark to build Tructractors for their companies.
A few years later the first hydraulic powered lift was added to
some trucks to give them lifting power. In 1923, Yale was the
first company to use forks that lifted loads off the ground and an
elevated mast that could extend beyond the height of the truck.
The Yale truck is considered to be the first forklift.
A few developments helped the forklift to increase in production
including the introduction of the standardized pallet in 1930 and
World War II. Both of these developments increased production
of forklifts and allowed distributors the means to efficiently move
heavy loads.
Three wheel forklift trucks are used for indoor and warehouses
were space requirement is very important.
While four-wheel forklift trucks are used for lifting heavy
loads in outdoor uses and transportation at long distances.
Used for loading trucks and moving pallets and other loads.
It may be electric, diesel or gasoline operated.
Diesel and gasoline powered forklifts will generate more
power than electric lifts and move faster over long distances.
Capacity ranging from 3 ton- 40 ton.
In this type of forklifts the load lifting pallets are fitted by the side
of the truck, so that while traveling at long distances operator
doesn’t get any kind of trouble.
Use for narrow aisle work where space between racks are
limited.
This type of forklifts may be electric or gasoline powered.
Loading or unloading can be done by the sides.
Lifting capacity are high for this type of forklifts.
The jack is steered by a ‘tiller’ like lever that also acts as the
handle for raising the forklift pallets on which load are resting. A
small lever provided on handle will releases the hydraulic fluid,
causing the forks to lower.
The front wheel inside the end of the forks are mounted on levers
attached to the hydraulic cylinder. As the hydraulic jack at the
‘tiller’ end is raised, the links forces the wheel down, raising the
forks vertically above the front wheels, raising the load upward
until it clears the floor space. The pallet is only lifted enough to
clear the floor for subsequent travel.
Often, hydraulic pallet jacks are used to move and organize
pallets inside a trailer, especially when there is no forklift truck
available.

MAIN PART
1. Body or frame 5. Load Roller
4. Push rod
Advantages
4) The best thing is that you can choose a forklift with the right
configuration and capacity depending on your need.
2) Fork lifts are used for lifting and transporting all kind of
materials like packaged products, raw material and other
equipment.
Equipment Required:
1. Hacksaw Cutter or Machine
2. Welding Machine
3. Hand Drilling Machine
4. Color sprayer
Tools Required:
1. Cutting tools (for above stated machines)
2. Hacksaw
3. Hammers
4. Measure tape
5. Spanner set
6. Screwdriver
Materials Required:
Material Cost
Object Weight Price(per kg) Cost
2) Weight of body
Mass = Volume × Density
Density of mild steel = 7.8 gm/cm3
Mass = 4650 × 7.8
= 36270 gm
= 36.2 kg
Welding Cost
The total length of plates which needs to be joined by welding is
around 600 cm. Or around 20 feet.
Considering market cost of welding Rs 40 per feet. The estimated
welding length will be around 20 feet. Hence
Welding cost= 20 × 40
= Rs. 800
