Below is a list of Forklift Trucks manufacturers from Utica, New York. Forklift trucks are small vehicles used to lift and move large loads with a pronged attachment jutting out of the front or side. They are widely used in warehouses, construction sites and manufacturing facilities for loading, storage and transportation applications. To move loads, forklift trucks insert the prongs underneath the pallet, which is then raised above the ground by a mast.
