When looking at your material handling needs, it’s key to consider if your environment warrants a stronger machine able to handle more heavy-duty surfaces and loads up to 40,000 lbs. Typically, Class I to VI forklifts are used indoors when driving over smooth and firm surfaces commonly found on warehouses and yard sites. When needing to deal with responsibilities across industries such as port logistics, steel production and others a stronger machine is likely to be needed for both lift capabilities and driving ability.

Built Ready for Tough Work

Westerra Equipment holds a premium range of equipment from key material handling brands of Linde, Konecranes, Bobcat (formerly sold under Doosan) & Clark to select from with ICE and electric options available depending on your needs. Class VII forklifts are categorized as ‘Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks’ which can maneuver over uneven outdoor surfaces across farms, construction sites, logging sites and other such places. This class of forklift utilizes tractor-style tires to traverse and are mostly found in lumberyards and construction sites.

Go Big & Go Green at the Same Time…

While heavy duty forklift machines do typically produce more noise and air pollution than smaller class forklifts due to their larger engines, in 2022 Konecranes launched the highly regarded E-VER in Canada & North America which was the first heavy duty forklift to launch with a fully electrified powertrain. Electric heavy-duty forklifts provide an option to get jobs done without increasing emissions through a larger piece of machinery versus standard forklifts and cut overall energy consumption by 70% without compromising performance. Recharge your equipment in under an hour and stay worry free with an average lifecycle of 5 years for Li-Ion battery technology that requires minimal maintenance across uses.

This machine importantly allows you to not only tackle the heavy duty needs but also indoor tasks as zero emissions makes this machine safe to use within indoor spaces at no respiratory risk to operators or staff.
