A forklift, also known as a lift truck, is a powerful industrial vehicle designed to lift, move, and transport heavy materials over short distances. Equipped with two or more prongs, called forks, the forklift can be inserted under pallets or other loads to raise and move them efficiently. Forklifts are indispensable in warehouses, manufacturing plants, construction sites, and other industrial environments due to their ability to handle heavy loads that would be impossible or impractical to move manually.
