How to choose the right forklift truck?

The need to lift and move different goods and materials requires the right forklift truck. But what should you keep in mind when you’re voting? Here are some important considerations:

– Power sources:

Internal combustion engine (diesel, gasoline) or electric motor (battery). Diesel and gasoline are suitable for outdoor use. With some concessions, gas can also be used indoors. Electric hoists can be used both indoors and outdoors.

– Lifting capacity and height:

Counterbalanced forklifts have a lifting capacity of 1.5 to 48 tonnes and a lifting height of 3 to 6 metres.

NB! Lifting capacity decreases with height to ensure safety.

– Additional equipment:

When ordering new, it is possible to configure the forklift with various accessories to make it easier and more comfortable to use. If you have any questions or need additional equipment, feel free to contact us and we will help you! 

– Tyres:

Pneumatic tyres soften the ride but reduce stability.

Solid tyres provide stability and increased lifting capacity.

– The financial aspect:

It is worth considering buying or renting a forklift, whether new or used.

The rental can include all the services you need, making it easier to plan your costs.
