Industrial forklifts: the right handling equipment for your operation
The industrial forklift is the most widely used material handling equipment in warehouses and distribution centers.

At DEVA, with engineering focused on solutions, not catalogs, we select and integrate the forklift that best fits your storage system and your operation.

What type of forklift does your warehouse need?
The choice depends on aisle width, stacking height and load type:
Counterbalanced: the most versatile; it uses a rear counterweight to handle heavy front loads.
Reach truck: ideal for narrower aisles and homogeneous goods, with good stacking height.
Turret truck (trilateral): for facilities with varied goods that need to optimize space with very narrow aisles.
Side loader: perfect for handling long or large goods.
Order picker: equipment adapted to order picking at height.
