Forklifts are powerful industrial machines. These trucks are used to lift and transport tons of material that can’t be shifted by hand, by means of steel forks inserted under the load. Although they are the most commonly used in warehouse operations (for example moving stored pallets), forklifts are found indoors and outdoors on a variety of industrial facilities and construction sites.

A forklift can be anything from a small electric machine that can turn on a sixpence, to a huge diesel-guzzling monster. If warehouse work is the order of the day, an electric forklift will get the job done and will generally be small enough to manoeuvre around indoors. Some electric forklifts are specially designed for use in especially narrow aisles.

If the work is more strenuous (the most powerful electric models can lift a maximum of about 5 tonnes), and emissions are not a problem, you will need a forklift with an internal combustion engine. These are suitable for outdoor as well as indoor work and, and can be fitted with different tyres depending on the terrain they are working on.

The size and power of the forklift will obviously also determine the maximum height it can lift its loads. Again, though, models are available that have been specially designed for very high lifting.

Whether you opt for a new or used machine will depend on the length and frequency of its usage. If the forklift will be busy all day every day, it’s worth investing in something brand new despite the price difference. If it isn’t going to be a permanent fixture on-site, they can be rented short-term as well as purchased or leased.

Whatever you need shifting, and wherever you need it shifting to, Approved Index can find you a forklift to suit your every requirement. Just fill in our simple enquiry form to receive free no obligation quotes from 6 leading forklift suppliers.

Testimonials

Alliance and Leicester

As someone who was "volunteered" to arrange a party for around 200 people with a "different theme" I had no idea where to start. The person from Approved Index was incredibly helpful and put me in touch with a range of companies who came back to me very quickly. I would definitely use Approved Index again.
