Rehvtõstukid

Rehvtõstukid, also known as forklift trucks or just forklifts, are industrial trucks used to lift and move materials over short distances. They are typically powered by internal combustion engines or electric motors and are equipped with two forks, or tines, attached to the front of the vehicle. These forks can be raised and lowered to lift pallets, crates, or other loads.

The primary function of a rehvtõstuk is to efficiently move goods within warehouses, factories, construction sites, and distribution centers. They play a crucial role in logistics and supply chain operations, enabling workers to stack and retrieve items from high shelves, load and unload trucks, and transport materials to different areas of a facility. Different types of rehvtõstukid exist, designed for specific tasks and environments, including counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and pallet jacks.

Operating a rehvtõstuk requires specialized training and certification due to the potential hazards involved. Proper training ensures operators understand the vehicle's capabilities, safe operating procedures, and load handling techniques. Safety is paramount, and common safety features include overhead guards, seatbelts, and warning lights. The widespread use of rehvtõstukid has significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual labor in many industries.
