An articulated forklift, also known as a multi-directional forklift, is a type of industrial truck used for lifting and transporting materials, particularly in warehouse and storage facilities. Unlike traditional forklifts that move in a forward direction only, articulated forklifts are designed with a unique steering system that allows them to maneuver in multiple directions, including sideways.
The key feature of articulated forklifts is their ability to articulate or bend in the middle, typically at a pivot point between the front and rear sections of the vehicle. This articulation enables the forklift to navigate narrow aisles and confined spaces more efficiently than conventional forklifts, as it can maneuver sideways as well as forward and backward.
According to the new market research report “Articulated Forklift – Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2024-2030”, published by QYResearch, the global Articulated Forklift market size is projected to reach USD 2.58 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.
