Somerset Forklifts - Tips for Forklifts in and around Somerset
When researching Forklifts in and around Somerset 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 investigating Forklifts in and around Somerset be aware that your first problem in buying a forklift could be just locating a dealer. Forklift trucks are officially known as “Lift trucks” and are commonly listed in directories under “Industrial Trucks”.
Tip - If you are considering Forklifts near Somerset it may be useful to you to know that in the UK a standard pallet is around 2 tonnes in weight and therefore a standard forklift will carry up to 2.5 tonnes.
While investigating Forklifts in and around Somerset make sure you check for black smoke coming out of the exhaust during operation. This is usually a carburettor problem and on a diesel forklift can be caused by worn injectors or a worn injector pump.
When you are investigating Forklifts in and around Somerset bear in mind that in the forklift trade, as in the motorcar industry, there is a “grey market”. This is the sale of forklifts imported into the UK from foreign markets. The main problem with these units is that they look the same as UK models but most dealers can’t support them as parts are different to those on UK models and are therefore difficult and expensive to source.
