What is a Forklift?

A forklift truck is a load-carrying vehicle meant for short-distance use. They are pieces of material handling equipment used to move and deliver machines or materials that can't be delivered by hand.

Forklift Hire Benefits

Forklift trucks in Worcester come with a range of major benefits that make them important for a wide variety of businesses and industries. Forklifts can be a versatile piece of material handling equipment with relatively simple operation, allowing them to be used in many different roles.

Storage and Stacking

Forklifts are ideal for storage and stacking in a warehouse or similar space. They can handle stacking materials in a Worcester warehouse or be a good way to move equipment into storage and are even useful as a loading method for vehicles that are part of your logistics plan.

Transport Use

Forklifts can work as a short-distance delivery and transport method, allowing pallets of stock to be moved quickly. While a large truck is the better transport method in Worcester, forklift trucks can be ideal for moving items through a warehouse or construction site in a reliable way.

Since they are smaller, forklifts also tend to be better if you need to transport something into a building or other confined space that a regular truck can't reach.

Indoor Use

The size of forklifts makes them ideal for indoor areas. They can operate in a warehouse or storage building very well, serving in a range of roles and capacities: as order pickers, stock moving vehicles, or even loaders for larger delivery trucks.

Outdoor Use

Forklift trucks are just as useful outdoors, whether that is to get items delivered around a site or to move stock and equipment freely. While not all forklifts are suitable for rough terrain, they can still be a good way to reach trucks, unload them, and carry equipment into a worksite directly.

Productivity

New forklifts can open up a lot of ways to increase productivity in Worcester. For example, a business that has used forklifts will often be able to move materials and equipment more effectively around a site, which can allow for faster workdays and greater workplace efficiency.

Forklifts essentially just simplify a part of workplace operation that already exists. With a forklift, transportation and storage become easier, allowing for a greater focus on other services.

Reliability

Forklifts are a very reliable option that can be used in a wide range of roles. Even well-used forklifts tend to function really well with occasional maintenance, and good-quality forklifts have a huge capacity for operating on a site long-term.

As long as you have your maintenance needs covered, a forklift truck in Worcester can be an invaluable tool in your arsenal. Great performance and high reliability mean that most used forklifts can still be incredibly good ground-based storage and transportation machines.

Power

There are multiple types of forklift to choose from in Worcester, all of which offer different benefits and features. One of the most notable differences is the power - electric forklifts can be a great alternative to models that use conventional fuel and enable a new way to use them.

While electric forklifts might seem very similar to the standard types, they can be much more eco-friendly and are a lot more reliable as an emergency option since they require no solid fuel to power them.

Heavy Loads

Forklift trucks are surprisingly good at managing heavy weights, and even previously-used forklifts can become as good as new forklifts when it comes to moving heavy equipment. Forklifts can provide any Worcester company with a way to move and deliver heavy items on short notice.

Not only does a good forklift-based truck allow you to move items that can't be moved by hand, but they often have a high weight capacity that can also support multiple larger items as needed. This good weight capacity allows most large loads to be covered by only one or two forklifts.

Lift Heights

Forklift trucks offer adjustable lift heights, allowing items to be raised and lowered as needed. Different truck models have different limits, but each hire truck option we provide is still flexible enough to work in most situations.

This means that a single truck can move stock to multiple levels of storage, retrieve stock from high shelves, observe safety regulations around employees, and use its weight capacity more effectively.

Forklift Attachments

We can provide a range of forklift attachments in Worcester, allowing simple truck forklifts to be turned into a cherry picker truck, high-efficiency transport truck, raised work platform truck, or bring a range of useful tools to your work site.

We allow customers to rent/hire these attachments alongside the trucks themselves, aiming for maximum flexibility at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are electric forklifts better?

Electric forklifts can be invaluable to many companies. Electric power might lower their performance in some areas, but electric trucks can often be easier to refuel since they just need an electric charging cable.

More importantly, electric forklift designs do not pollute directly. This means electric options are better for safety indoors since electric trucks will not be putting exhaust fumes into the air. Electric forklift trucks are also usually just as effective and strong as their diesel counterparts.

Are diesel forklifts better?

Diesel forklifts pollute more than electric options, which can cause safety concerns indoors. However, diesel forklifts often have greater performance, with the diesel itself being a better fuel for outdoor areas anyway.

Diesel options can stock, move, transport and store materials just as easily as electric options. Both offer the same service and benefits, just in different ways, so each company needs to think about the forklift type they want to use most.

Are forklifts material handling equipment?

Forklifts are considered equipment rather than a vehicle in most cases. They are meant to provide a service rather than be driven down roads and are generally used as a company tool.

How much is it to rent a forklift UK?

The cost of renting a forklift depends on the exact hire service, the kind your company chooses, and a variety of other factors, such as delivery. The more recently-developed and manufactured forklifts tend to cost more.

The sale and rent prices of a forklift are hard to pin down. We can help you figure out how much each forklift would cost to rent, providing you with rent quotes based on delivery, service and safety requirements that you have given us.

Can I drive a forklift on the road without a car Licence?

Forklifts are allowed on public roads as long as you follow specific regulations. Using a truck on a public road requires it to be a registered forklift, and you yourself need to be licensed to use the truck.

How much can a 5000 lb forklift lift?

Most trucks can lift about 24 times their own weight if used correctly and if all maintenance services have been done properly. A 5,000 lb forklift can therefore lift about 120,000 lbs under ideal conditions.

Remember that weight capacity also requires physical capacity. A high-weight capacity is great, but you need the space capacity to fit the item onto the forklift. Weight capacity makes little difference if the items can't stay on the forklift.

Certain attachments may add weight and therefore reduce weight capacity, but also make the physical space capacity higher.

How much does a forklift truck cost UK?

If you were to have a forklift purchased, sale prices would vary anywhere from £3,000 to £30,000 with VAT. These sale prices vary based on a variety of factors, but rent prices are always lower. We aim to offer cheaper forklift rent options for any customer and/or company that needs them.

Do you need a full UK driving Licence to drive forklift trucks?

Driving a forklift truck does not usually require a license, but it is good to have one. Licensed operators are always easier to rely on than unlicensed operators, and you need forklift training to prove that you can use the trucks properly.

Do you need a certificate to drive a forklift UK?

A certificate to certify you have trained to use a forklift is essential as an operator.

Is driving a forklift easy?

Driving a forklift takes some skill, but the vehicles are meant to be simple enough to suit most situations. This can make it relatively easy to learn in the right situations. Specialised training is essential.

Is a forklift harder to drive than a car?

Forklifts are harder to drive than cars due to being weightier and harder to stop.

Why are forklifts sometimes called counterbalance trucks?

The name "counterbalance trucks" comes from the weight on the back of these trucks. These are necessary for the lifting services and capacity that they offer, but they also increase the vehicle's weight.

This counterbalance is designed to suit the vehicle's lifting capacity. By trying to counterbalance the weight, the rear counterbalance design can improve lifting limits and overall safety.
