How many tires does each of the 11k and 12k forklifts have?

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer: (A)

Four wheels. For sit-down counterbalanced forklifts in the 11,000–12,000 lb capacity range, a four‑wheel setup is standard—two wheels at the front and two at the rear. The weight capacity describes how much load the forks can safely lift, not how many tires the truck has. The front wheels carry the load and traction, while the rear wheels help with steering and stability. Some specialized or off-road models use more wheels, but in typical warehouse use for these capacity classes, four wheels is the norm.
