Thats a good question. Based on my experience's with different types of forklifts I would have to say first, if there is any question whatsoever, don't risk it. Certain forklifts are operated on large DC batteries and have reverse
DC braking circuits built into the wheels. Most of the lifts themselves are hydraulic which would tend to not generate magnet fields but maybe electrostatic. I know that there are lift trucks that are specifically designed to have extremely low EMF field interference so they can be used for transporting highly sensitive materials for government/military applications, though I can't tell you which brand or model. You could use an old fashioned hydraulic pallet jack to move them with no risk, except to maybe the back of the person pulling them! I have heard first hand stories of master tapes having erasure bumps in them from being partially degaussed from being set next to the electric conduit on a passenger train floor. Best of luck!
