A counterbalanced lift truck is an industrial truck that is weighted at the rear of the truck to prevent (counter) any forward tipping of the truck that could occur when lifting a load.^[1] Counterbalanced trucks can be either "sit-down" or "stand-up." Conventional or counterbalanced fork lift trucks carry a pallet straight out in front of the machine on permanently aligned forks. These trucks must turn at right angles in order to place the material in storage, They require wide aisles (10 to 14 feet) and substantial floor capacity. They are available with both electric and internal combustion power.^[2] See also fork lift truck.
