cartsPowered stacker trucks, or forklift trucks or forklifts, are power-driven machines intended for the transport of goods with a load of up to several tens of tonnes. They are suitable for handling goods placed on pallets. They are commonly used as material handling equipment (UTB) in warehouses, logistics centres, shops, production plants.

The operator and the maintenance technician of the forklift truck should have an appropriate certificate which is a certificate of qualification to operate the forklift truck. This certificate is issued after the completion of a course and passing an exam before a commission of the UDT - Office of Technical Inspection.
