When you are trying to find a used forklift in and around Bristol you might like to know that the multi-way / 4-way lift truck revolutionised the handling and storage of long loads in a wide variety of industry sectors worldwide.

Whilst you are looking for a used forklift in and around Bristol you might like to be aware that a lift truck driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 after an incident in which he was driving a lift truck with a stack of 12 modular sheds. The sheds obscured the drivers vision and as a result he hit a fellow employee with the load causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. It is important that individuals are aware that they, as well as their employer, have duties under the law to take reasonable care of the health and safety of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work. In this case the employer had employed an in-house lift truck trainer and the driver had received regular refresher training and re-testing and as a result it was the employee not the employer that was fined for this incident.

While you are trying to find a used forklift in and around Bristol bear in mind that a used electric lift truck might have a battery with a bad cell. This does not necessarily mean that the battery needs to be replaced as it is sometimes possible to just replace a cell, which is a lot cheaper than fitting a new battery.
