This type of atex forklift is the first choice for extremely heavy loads. The dense mass in the rear of the machine offsets the load on the forks. This type of forklift is mainly used indoors and on smooth surfaces, with adjustable support legs. Counterbalance forklifts are most commonly used in warehouses. They are also available in three-wheeled versions for tight spaces.

Reach atex forklifts are incredibly maneuverable, provide maximum lifting capacity, and for these reasons, they are best suited for recovering goods stored in warehouses, logistics companies or distribution centers. Reach forklifts are designed to operate in narrow aisles.
The atex forklift mast stabilizes the forklift by securing the cab and driver on one side and the forks and forklift mast on the other side.
The load type is also important. Specific attachments are designed to increase the capacity of standard forklifts and help you move loads more efficiently. The size of the load determines its application point as well as the length of the fork. Note that the longer the fork, the lower the lift height.
Driver ergonomics of atex forklifts
To make the job less difficult, it is ideal to choose a roomy cab that allows the forklift driver to change positions, provides easy entry and exit, and easy movement of the spine and head for better visibility. It is also recommended to avoid vibration, so drive on smooth, unobstructed ground, reduce speed from 9 km/h to 6 km/h during loading/unloading operations, and use wheels in good condition.
