Container lift trucks are rounding up stray containers and transporting, lifting and stacking them between endpoints. Some cargo is weighted and needs a dependable structure that can manage the lifting and exact placement. Container lift trucks also must be able to keep a tight grip on empty containers whose movements can be less predictable.
The total life cycle cost is especially important to research when considering the purchase of a truck. Just like any vehicle, you need to think about fuel costs, inevitable maintenance costs and possible repairs. Efficiency and matching the vehicle to your needs are other issues to think about. How many loads are you expecting to lift? How much weight are you anticipating will be lifted?
