Recommended Lifts for the Building Materials Industry
Burns Industrial Equipment offers specialized solutions for building materials operations.
-
High-capacity forklifts: Heavy-duty lifts for building materials handle your densest loads. With capacities of 19,000 pounds and beyond, heavy-duty units move pallets of brick, stone and bagged materials with confidence. Powerful IC engines deliver consistent performance during demanding use.
-
Rugged terrain forklifts: Lumber yard forklifts must perform reliably on challenging surfaces. These units feature pneumatic tires, enhanced stability and powerful drivetrains engineered for outdoor work. Whether navigating debris-filled yards or transitioning between surfaces, rugged terrain models maintain traction and control.
-
Multi-directional forklifts: Long loads demand specialized handling. Multi-directional forklifts move sideways, enabling safe transport of lumber, pipe and steel beams in narrow spaces. This capability transforms warehouse space utilization and enables operators to maneuver materials through congested areas without compromising safety.
