Widespread use of the forklift truck had revolutionized warehousing practices before the middle of the 20th century, enabling warehouse operators to justify erecting sprawling one-floor buildings to replace the more compact multistory structures used in the past. Many kinds of mobile equipment are used in warehouses today, but most are variants of the common forklift truck.
