The work of a forklift operator can be demanding, especially in changing weather conditions. In winter, efficient cab heating plays a key role, not only keeping the operator warm but also effectively vapourising the windows to improve visibility. Rain and snowfall can significantly reduce field of vision, so windscreen wipers and washers are an essential piece of equipment to keep windscreens clean.
In the warmer months, high temperatures become a problem, especially when the forklift is working outside. Air-conditioning systems are available on many cab models to ensure comfort even in hot weather. This is a significant improvement that can be introduced on either a battery or internal combustion engine powered machine.
