Manually driven counterbalanced forklift is materials handling equipment which is used for a range of intralogistics processes activities realisation. Permanent aims in this area are focused on increasing of speed of processes realization and reliability/accuracy, on one side, and logistics costs decrease, on the other side. Those aims have initiated significant researches in different domains, first of all in mechanical and/or electric engineering area, and have resulted in improvement in technical and technological parameters of forklifts. Since speed increase (driving, hoisting, lowering speed) are significantly limited through technical and/or technological factors, as well as with different safety and other regulatory issues, researches have been focused on new possibilities for productivity increasing through time reducing of other activities and some other solutions concerned on forklifts. In recent years, very intensive is approach on involving different modern IT solutions on forklift that enables achieving mentioned aims. This paper gives review of some solutions and tendencies in this domain.
