carrello elevatore a forcale

Explanation:
Questo e' quanto riporta il dizionario scientifico e tecnico McGraw-Hill Zanichelli, la definizione e' la seguente: "a vehicle equipped with a forklift"
"forklift": "elevatore a forca", "a machine, usually powered by hydraulic means, consisting of two or more prongs which can be raised and lowered and are inserted under heavy materials or objects for hoisting and moving them"

Spero ti sia di aiuto.
Buon lavoro
