forklift

A forklift is a machine that helps people lift and move heavy things around, like boxes or containers.

You often see forklifts being used in warehouses, factories, or anywhere where big stuff needs to be moved from one place to another. The driver gets into the cab of the forklift, which looks kind of like a small truck with long arms that can lift and move heavy loads. The forklift is super useful because it allows workers to easily pick up and put down heavy objects without straining themselves. For example, in a warehouse, forklifts are used to lift boxes onto shelves or transport them across the floor to another part of the building. Some people also use forklifts to move equipment around on construction sites.
