# Different Types of Forklifts - OSHA Classifications Explained

by [Rob Webb](https://www.sstlift.com/blog/author/rob-webb), on Jun 19, 2020 11:00:00 AM

![SST Blog - Different Types of Forklifts - OSHA Classifications Explained](https://www.sstlift.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/SST%20Blog%20-%20Different%20Types%20of%20Forklifts%20-%20OSHA%20Classifications%20Explained.png?width=686&name=SST%20Blog%20-%20Different%20Types%20of%20Forklifts%20-%20OSHA%20Classifications%20Explained.png)If you’re shopping around for a forklift, you may have encountered terms like “Class IV” or “Class I” and wondered what they mean. OSHA sorts forklifts into different classifications, but they don't always match up with how most people differentiate one forklift from another.   
 

Learn about different types of forklifts and their OSHA classifications by reading our guide below. You can also [contact a forklift expert in Florida or Georgia](http://sstlift.com/material-handling-help) at Southern States Toyotalift (SST) who will be happy to answer any questions you may have about [buying](https://www.sstlift.com/new-equipment) or [renting a forklift](https://www.sstlift.com/forklift-rental-georgia-florida).

## Common Forklift Types Vs. OSHA Forklift Classifications

 There are many different types of forklifts: stand-up, sit-down, narrow aisle, and so on. When most people imagine a forklift cruising around a warehouse, they’re probably thinking of a Class I forklift like the Toyota Core Electric forklift shown below.

That said, it might also be a Class IV: Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Lift Truck with Cushion Tires. *Confused?* Totally understandable.

If you visit a forklift dealer or forklift manufacturer's website, they usually break things out like this:

- Electric Forklifts
- Internal Combustion (IC) Forklifts
- Narrow Aisle Forklifts (order pickers, reach trucks, etc.)
- Rough Terrain Forklifts

OSHA classifies forklifts by engine and tire type. Their categories also include tow tractors and pallet jacks in addition to forklifts. Below is an explanation of each OSHA Class with examples for each one. 

**Class I: Electric Motor Rider Trucks**  
Electric, counterbalance forklifts are the most popular type of lift truck. They have zero emissions and are great for moving pallets around a warehouse or other location with a smooth driving surface. Class I forklifts:

- Emit no fumes   
- Are quieter than IC forklifts   
- May have cushion or pneumatic tires  
- Can be stand-up or sit-down  
- Are ideal for loading and unloading trailers

As you can see, the Class I category includes a lot of options. Toyota offers six versatile models in this Class, including the Core Electric shown above and two stand-up options (shown below). Toyota's Class I lift trucks come in capacities from 3,000 up to 40,000 lbs. View [electric Toyota forklifts for sale in Georgia and Florida](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota).

**  
Class II: Electric Motor Narrow Aisle Trucks**  
Narrow aisles are a smart solution for facility managers who don’t want to deal with the expense and hassle of moving to a larger facility. If you’re interested in narrow aisle [warehouse optimization](https://www.sstlift.com/blog/warehouse-space-optimization-georgia-florida), you’ll need lift trucks designed to operate in tighter spaces. We sell three types of Class II lift trucks including, [Toyota’s Reach Truck](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota-electric-reach-truck-forklift), [Walkie Reach Truck](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota-walkie-reach-truck-forklift) and the recently-updated [Toyota Order Picker](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota-8-series-order-picker-forklift).

**Class III: Electric Motor Hand Trucks or Hand/Rider Trucks**  
You may be surprised to know pallet jacks are considered a lift truck. Class III lift trucks include electric pallet jacks, stackers and tow tractors.

Unlike forklifts, which specialize in moving equipment up and down, Class III trucks are designed for horizontal transportation. Powered pallet jacks, such as this large "[walkie](https://www.sstlift.com/new/large-electric-walkie-pallet-jack)" model, reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity.

Southern States TOYOTAlift sells 10 varieties of Class III equipment, including [stackers that are ideal for the food and beverage industry](https://www.sstlift.com/forklifts-for-beverage-warehouses-and-beer-distributors) (in addition to other applications) and three electric tow tractor options. The smallest Toyota tow tractor has a [10,000 lb capacity](https://www.sstlift.com/new/tow-tractor), and the [mid-size can tug up to 13,000 lbs](https://www.sstlift.com/new/mid-tow-tractor). Toyota's large tow tractor can move more than 55,000 lbs and is considered a Class VI powered industrial truck.

**Class IV: IC Trucks with Cushion Tires**  
This forklift Class has an internal combustion engine (typically a LPG, sometimes diesel) and smooth, cushion tires. These lift trucks are designed for use on loading docks, storage areas, or any smooth surface. Because Class IV forklifts have an internal combustion engine, they are not appropriate for food, underground or pharmaceutical applications.

Most indoor applications use electric forklifts, but if your operation doesn’t have space for a charging room, or limited time to recharge, a Class IV forklift may be a good option. Toyota has seven Class IV models, ranging in capacity from [6,500](https://www.sstlift.com/core-ic-cushion-forklift) up to [22,000 pounds](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota-high-capacity-ic-cushion).

**Class V: Internal Combustion Engine Trucks with Pneumatic Tires**  
Most outdoor applications use Class V forklifts. With rugged pneumatic tires and lifting [capacities up to 125,000 lbs](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota-high-capacity-ic-pneumatic-forklift), a Class V forklift can handle just about any job. We sell [new](https://www.sstlift.com/toyota) and [used Toyota forklifts with pneumatic tires](https://www.sstlift.com/used-forklifts-for-sale-georgia-florida) and IC engines. Just tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll find the right truck for your material handling needs.

**Class VI: Electric and Internal Combustion Engine Tractors**  
You’ve most likely seen a Class VI industrial truck (aka tow tractor) while looking out the window at an airport. [These machines can pull more than 55,000 lbs](https://www.sstlift.com/new/large-tow-tractor) and may have an electric or an IC engine. In addition to towing carts full of luggage, you'll also find Class VI trucks hard at work on assembly lines.

**Class VII: Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks**  
Construction sites and other job sites with uneven terrain require rugged forklifts with tractor-style tires and a beefed-up suspension. Class VII forklifts may also have a telescoping mast or other application-specific modifications.
