三支点叉车-通常是电动平衡车，其车轮几何形状为三角形。后轴装有单轮或双轮，也可以用作转向轴。通常通过前轮启动驱动或牵引。转向后轮可以在任一方向上最多旋转90度，从而使车辆具有极大的机动性。这种狭窄的转弯半径使其与具有相似车辆尺寸的四支点叉车区别开来。

Three wheel forklifts - usually electric counterbalanced vehicles with a wheel geometry of a triangle. The rear axle is fitted with a single or dual wheel and also serves as the steer axle. The drive or traction is usually initiated via the front wheels. The steered rear wheel can turn up to 90 degrees in either direction making the vehicle extremely manoeuvrable. This tight turning radius sets it apart from its four wheel cousins with similar vehicle dimensions.
