When you are trying to find Forklifts in and around Dorset bear in mind that a 7,000lb triple stage 17ft mast does not mean that it can take 7,000lb and lift it 17ft in the air. Lift height greatly diminishes as the height of the load increases and above 10ft the load capacity drops off considerably. Always refer to the manufacturers load chart which will show the differential drop as the lift goes higher.

When you are looking for Forklifts in and around Dorset it might be worth considering that the average 4 wheel sit-down ride-on lift truck will need at least a 10ft aisle to operate comfortably and a 3 wheel electric lift truck is generally easier to manoeuvre.

If you are searching for Forklifts in and around Dorset then be aware that retired rental lift trucks can be a good option if you are looking for a used lift truck, as are lease returns, repossessions and demonstration machines.
