Material Handling Equipment

You can use a forklift truck to move materials over short distances. They are useful for various jobs because they are so versatile and practical. These trucks have rear-wheel steering, which means an operator can take advantage of their manoeuvrability in small spaces and around tight corners. A forked platform is usually at the front or back of the vehicle. The forks are designed for insertion under cargo or loads. You can raise and lower the platform using a hydraulic system, allowing you to move items in a safe and steady way.

We have an excellent range of forklifts available for safe and efficient material handling in all environments. Whether you need picking and lifting equipment for a shop, warehouse, distribution centre, garden centre, storage centre, or logistics area, we can provide a solution. Our range includes -

Counterbalance

• Diesel. These machines are ideal for outdoor applications & well ventilated areas, such as yards, hangars & wide open warehouses. Diesel machines are powerful, easy to use & have low running costs. They have better acceleration & lift speeds compared to LPG or electric models. They are also reliable & have large fuel capacities for extended use. We have a range of units available, with 2500kg to 3500kg lifting capacities.

• LPG (Gas). Liquid propane gas trucks are versatile & popular material handling machines. They are reliable, easy to refuel & safe to use indoors. We have 3500kg LPG & 4000kg models available.

• Electric. These versatile machines are ideal for lifting heavy loads, as the weight in the rear of the truck counterbalances the weight of the goods for better stability & operation. As they are completely battery driven, they are suitable for both indoor & outdoor use. We have 2000kg, 3500kg & 5000kg models available.

Rough Terrain

All-terrain forklifts are designed to lift and carry loads in areas with uneven surfaces and outdoor applications, such as on building sites or material yards. These machines are heavy-duty, large, feature robust, deep-tread tyres, and tend to have large maximum load capacities.

We provide plant equipment from some of the best specialist suppliers in the country. While we have outline some specific models online, we might also be able to source other models, including stackers, order-pickers, sideloaders, narrow-isle trucks, and more in your area. We also have a range of add ons and accessories you can hire, including 3 tonnes jibs, 2 tonne hooks, folding access cages, and 2 tonne extension forks.
