There are limits to what a forklift can do. Basically, it can only move one pallet or load at a time. If there is a lot of material to be moved some distance, there's a good economic casefor using more trolleys instead of more forklifts. In fact, a forklift can usually tow a trolley, but for multiple trolleys in a train, a specialisedtractor is needed. You've seen them in use at airports, docks, railway stations and heavyengineering works, and they're generally used whenever loads are to be movedcontinuously more than 100 metres (303'). To add to their usefulness, trailers are often specially modified to contain loads more safely, or to act as a jig or part of the work holding fixture. The load can then be wheeled to a workcentre, worked on, and then wheeled away, without ever leaving the trailer, thus reducing handling time and effort. Trailers can also be matched to the height of a work table, so the load can be slid directly on and off the work area.
