Forklifts are made for lifting really heavy loads.
The loads sit on the forks, which can also be called the blades.
These blades are attached to a part called the carriage.
And forklifts can lift their loads really high thanks to this part, called the mast.
It lifts the carriage, and the forks, way up high.
It can go slow. It can go fast.
Whatever it takes to do it right.
The driver usually tilts the load back when he's lifting and carrying it so that it doesn't
slip off.
He doesn't want anything to come tumbling down while he's lifting it to the top of this
big storage rack.
You won't see any other truck quite like a forklift.
