While you are searching for Lift Trucks in and around the UK you might like to note that that on average you can expect to get around 12 hours running time from a standard gas truck with a four cylinder engine. It will usually take 3 or 4 days to use up a full tank of gas even with the lift truck being used eight hours a day, as time is spent getting on and off the lift truck, so the lift truck is not usually running all the time.

Whilst you are looking for Lift Trucks in and around the UK you might like to be aware that an employer was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay over £800 in costs when a HSE inspector noticed an employee being lifted eight feet into the air on a lift truck to fit a company sign to their own premises. Although no one was injured on the occasion, this incident had all the hallmarks of an accident waiting to happen. Accidents involving fork lift trucks account for a large proportion of accidents in the workplace and it is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that drivers are properly trained and use the equipment properly.

When you are trying to find Lift Trucks in and around the UK it might be worth considering that if your business runs lift trucks eight hours a day; has pallet shelving and a large warehouse then a cheap used/secondhand lift truck might not necessarily be the best investment.
