History of Forklifts
Forklift technology provides the capacity to transport heavy or bulky objects easily across short distances. Forklifts are usually utilized in the daily operations of various types of businesses. Forklift design is always undergoing improvement as technology advances.

In the early part of the 20th century, at the start of the industrial period within America, the forklift was invented. A company referred to as Clark made the first truck tracker in the year 1917. It was developed for use within Clark's very own plant, but when others saw it they were really impressed with this lifting machinery, even if it could only raise loads a few centimeters off the ground. The next year, Clark began marketing the trucks widely.

The first types of forklifts were just the basics. By 1920, hydraulics was incorporated into the design. During 1923, Yale Baker developed an electric powered model with a ratchet and pinion system which cost less to operate. Pallets were developed as surfaces that are stackable on which to move materials. This allowed bigger loads to be moved.

During World War II, more businesses moved into the materials handling industry to deal with increased demand. Businesses, like for example Hyster, went from making other types of machines to producing lift trucks. The United States Armed Forces increased demand for forklifts for the purpose of bringing military materials to the frontlines. The demand for longer lasting electric models led to the development of forklifts that could last for eight hours.

During the course of their history, forklifts have considerably changed. Industries around the world require forklifts to lessen costs and increase production. Modern trucks are safer, more comfortable and more productive than their predecessors.
