Forklifts share several particular components even though nearly all forklift makes and models are somewhat different. The forklift driver sits in a protected vehicle cab with metal overhead roof. On the front of the forklift the mast is situated. This contraption lowers and raises the load using hydraulic cylinders. Forklifts are powered either by internal combustion or IC or batteries. If an internal combustion engine is used, additional counterweights should be utilized at the forklift's rear. If a battery is used, it sits in the forklift's back as a counterbalance.
