Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with walkie/pedestrian operator controls only
Walkie-type electric fork-lifts without rider platform fall under self-propelled electric trucks powered by electric motor but not rider-type.
If powered by internal combustion engine
Counterbalanced fork-lifts with diesel or gasoline engines are classified under works trucks powered by IC engines, not electric.
If not self-propelled
Other fork-lift trucks without self-propulsion (e.g., manual or towable) go to the general other works trucks category.
