Can you use the forklift as a crane?

   Yes, if there are no safety concerns.  

   Now there is a combination of models on the market, both can do forklift, and can do crane use, both have the role of lifting heavy objects and moving, but there are fundamental differences between the two.  

   Forklift has a front section of double fork structure.  Lift the goods from bottom to top, the cargo fork as the main pickup device, relying on hydraulic lifting mechanism to lift the goods, reduce manpower configuration and realize time and effort saving.  It is more common to manage the movement of commercial goods and materials in an indoor environment.  The height is limited, can only be lifted to a certain height, unable to achieve the horizontal movement of goods, in a narrow area is not convenient crane, but the cost of forklift is lower, so forklift only in some specific environment to replace the crane.
