Helping you find hire forklifts in and around Bristol

Forklift Tips

If you are researching hire forklifts in and around Bristol 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.

When researching hire forklifts in and around Bristol take into consideration that renting a forklift can sometimes work out to be the cheaper option when maintenance and repair costs are factored in.

If you are looking for hire forklifts in and around Bristol you should know that the hour meter on a second hand forklift will not always show the total number of hours of use as replacement meters are cheap and easy to fit.

When searching for hire forklifts in and around Bristol remember that the forklift you buy has to fit your requirement. A standard mast will normally lift to around 3m (10ft), which is fine for offloading goods and moving them around a yard but won’t necessarily work if you have higher shelving or racking.
