A construction forklift is used on construction sites to lift and carry loads. There are different types of forklifts : forklift with fixed range and forklifts with variable scope, or telescopic handler.
Equipped with pallet forks or loader bucket, the heavy construction forklift can lift loads of several tonnes up to ten meters with its mast, or arm activated by a hydraulic system.
The heavy construction forklift was created in 1958 by Braud & Faucheux, company now known as Manitou : it was a hybrid at the time between a farming tractor and a forklift.
