Agricultural machinery is machinery used in farming or other agriculture.

There are many types of such equipment, from hand tools and power tools to tractors and the countless kinds of farm implements that they tow or operate.

A truck (United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and Pakistan; also called a lorry in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, and India) is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo.

Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration; smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles.

Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful, and may be configured to mount specialized equipment, such as in the case of fire trucks and concrete mixers and suction excavators.

A forklift (also called a lift truck, a fork truck, or a forklift truck) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials short distances.

The forklift was developed in the early 20th century by various companies including the transmission manufacturing company Clark and the hoist company Yale & Towne Manufacturing.

Following World War II the use and development of the forklift truck has greatly expanded worldwide.

Forklifts have become an indispensable piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations.

In 2013 alone the top 20 manufacturers worldwide posted sales of $30.4 billion with 944,405 machines sold.

A commercial vehicle is any type of motor vehicle used for transporting goods or paid passengers.

The European Union defines a "commercial motor vehicle" as any motorised road vehicle, that by its type of construction and equipment is designed for, and capable of transporting, whether for payment or not: (1) more than nine persons, including the driver; (2) goods and "standard fuel tanks".

This means the tanks permanently fixed by the manufacturer to all motor vehicles of the same type as the vehicle in question and whose permanent fitting lets fuel be used directly, both for propulsion and, where appropriate, to power a refrigeration system.

Gas tanks fitted to motor vehicles for the direct use of diesel as a fuel are considered standard fuel tanks.
