The food and beverage industry has unique material handling requirements due to strict hygiene standards, temperature-controlled environments, and the perishable nature of products. Forklifts in this sector often need to operate in refrigerated or freezer areas and must meet sanitation requirements. Electric forklifts are frequently preferred for their zero emissions, which is particularly important in food processing and storage areas. Equipment may need to be wash down capable and constructed with stainless steel components to withstand cleaning procedures. Common applications include moving palletized ingredients, finished goods, and handling specialized containers like drums, totes, and kegs.
Every minute of downtime costs you—so having the right lift truck on hand is crucial. Forklift Systems offers a carefully selected range of high-performance forklifts and material-handling solutions built for the demands of your industry.
