Forklift Hire Enquiry Form

If you are researching used gas forklift trucks in and around Highland you may wish to know that a business was fined over £50,000 when an employee was crushed to death. A forklift driver had performed an emergency stop while going round a corner in order to avoid hitting another member of staff. However the sudden braking caused the goods being carried to fall off and pin the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.

While searching for used gas forklift trucks in and around Highland you may need to be aware that forklifts can operate in explosive atmospheres as long as they have been appropriately modified and then are carefully maintained by a properly trained engineer.

While investigating used gas forklift trucks in and around Highland take into account the physical restrictions of the areas in which a machine will have to operate. In particular consider any doorways through which your forklift will have to move. If your doorways are standard 1.8m (6ft) or 2.4m (8ft) high then you obviously wont be able to use a machine with a collapsed mast height of over 3m (10ft). Before making your selection make sure that all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through have been measured.
