Our Wide Range of Forklifts

Electric Forklifts

At the forefront of warehouse innovation, our electric forklift inventory represents the perfect marriage of performance and sustainability. Designed specifically for indoor applications where air quality is paramount, these emission-free machines deliver impressive power while operating with minimal noise disruption. This makes them ideal for facilities with multiple shifts or those located near residential areas where noise restrictions may apply.

Our electric forklift fleet includes models from industry titans such as Toyota, Hyster, and Raymond, with weight capacities ranging from 2,500 to 15,000 pounds to accommodate virtually any indoor material handling requirement. The modern energy recovery systems installed in these units significantly extend runtime between charges, allowing for maximum productivity during demanding shifts.

For operations concerned with environmental impact, our electric forklifts offer substantial reductions in carbon footprint while simultaneously reducing operational costs through decreased maintenance needs and energy consumption. Our team can help you calculate the potential savings and efficiency gains when transitioning from traditional combustion engines to our state-of-the-art electric models.

Lithium Forklifts

Experience the revolution in material handling technology with our premium lithium-ion forklift fleet. These cutting-edge machines represent the pinnacle of energy efficiency and operational flexibility, offering game-changing advantages over traditional power systems. With opportunity charging capabilities that allow for quick power boosts during breaks without damaging battery cells, these units effectively eliminate downtime associated with battery swapping or extended charging periods.

The advanced battery management systems in our lithium forklifts provide consistent power output regardless of charge level, ensuring optimal performance from the beginning to the end of each shift. With an impressive 4,000+ charge cycle lifespan, these units deliver exceptional long-term value while requiring virtually zero maintenance for the power system.

For temperature-controlled environments or facilities with multiple shifts, our lithium forklifts present the ideal solution. Their sealed battery compartments eliminate acid spills and dangerous gas emissions during charging, improving workplace safety while reducing ventilation requirements. The compact battery design also allows for improved operator compartment ergonomics, enhancing comfort during extended operation periods.

LPG Forklifts

Our robust fleet of propane-powered forklifts delivers exceptional performance in outdoor applications and cross-docking operations where versatility is essential. These dependable workhorses provide consistent torque throughout demanding shifts, with quick-change fuel systems that minimize operational interruptions. Ideal for construction sites, lumber yards, and distribution centers with indoor/outdoor requirements, our LPG forklifts combine power with operational flexibility.

Each unit undergoes comprehensive emissions testing and maintenance to ensure optimal performance while meeting strict environmental standards. Our convenient propane exchange program eliminates concerns about fuel availability, with scheduled deliveries and emergency service available throughout the Irvine area. The exceptional runtime-to-refueling ratio makes these units particularly valuable for operations where extended, uninterrupted use is critical.

Available in capacities ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 pounds, our propane fleet includes specialized models with pneumatic tires for uneven terrain and cushion tires for smooth indoor surfaces. Advanced catalytic converters and fuel management systems reduce emissions while improving fuel economy, delivering better value with each operating hour.

Order Pickers

Transform your vertical storage capabilities with our specialized order picker fleet. Designed to safely elevate operators to heights reaching 36 feet, these precision machines maximize warehouse space utilization while improving picking efficiency. Our order pickers feature intuitive controls, enhanced stability systems, and ergonomic operator platforms that reduce fatigue during extended use.

Available in both standard and narrow-aisle configurations, these units can be tailored to your specific facility layout and storage system design. The advanced safety features include presence detection systems, automated braking when elevated, and emergency descent mechanisms that ensure operator protection even in power failure situations.

For facilities implementing high-density storage solutions, our order pickers can be equipped with rail guidance systems, wire guidance technology, or RFID position tracking that enables semi-automated operation in very narrow aisles. This technology increases picking accuracy while protecting both inventory and racking systems from accidental damage.

Stand-Up Forklifts

Engineered for operations requiring frequent operator entry and exit, our stand-up forklifts provide superior maneuverability in tight spaces while reducing operator fatigue. These nimble machines excel in high-throughput environments such as cross-docking facilities, retail backrooms, and congested warehouses where traditional sit-down units would limit productivity.

The ergonomic operator compartment includes cushioned back support, adjustable armrests, and intuitive fingertip controls that make extended operation comfortable and efficient. With zero-radius turning capabilities and compact chassis design, these units navigate narrow aisles and congested spaces with unprecedented precision.

Advanced features such as programmable performance settings allow for customization based on operator experience and application requirements. Optional extended load backrests, side shifters, and specialized attachments make these versatile machines adaptable to virtually any material handling challenge in space-constrained environments.

Sit-Down Forklifts

Our comprehensive sit-down forklift selection combines traditional reliability with modern performance enhancements. Available in both three and four-wheel configurations, these versatile machines provide exceptional stability and operator comfort for extended operational periods. The spacious operator compartments feature full suspension seating, adjustable steering columns, and ergonomic hydraulic controls that minimize strain during repeated load handling.

Available in electric, propane, and diesel power options, our sit-down fleet includes specialized models for nearly every application. From dock loading operations to manufacturing support and warehouse management, these traditional workhorses deliver consistent performance in diverse environments.

Advanced safety features include overhead guards exceeding ANSI standards, integrated backup alarms, LED operational lighting packages, and optional camera systems for improved visibility when handling high loads or operating in congested areas. Each unit can be equipped with attachments such as clamps, rotators, push-pulls, or specialized forks to handle unique load requirements.

Counterbalance Forklifts

The foundation of effective material handling operations, our counterbalance forklift fleet offers unmatched versatility across diverse applications. These foundational machines provide the perfect balance of lifting capacity, maneuverability, and operational efficiency for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers throughout Irvine.
