While you are searching for fork lift sales in and around Cornwall bear in mind that electric lift trucks run on batteries that require regular charging. On a new battery you can typically expect to get around 6 hours of running time from a standard 4 wheel lift truck. The batteries also need regular maintenance and are expensive to replace once their useful life has been exceeded.

When you are trying to find fork lift sales in and around Cornwall bear in mind that a 7,000lb triple stage 17ft mast does not mean that it can take 7,000lb and lift it 17ft in the air. Lift height greatly diminishes as the height of the load increases and above 10ft the load capacity drops off considerably. Always refer to the manufacturers load chart which will show the differential drop as the lift goes higher.

When you are trying to find fork lift sales in and around Cornwall you might like to note that if your business only needs to offload goods once a week, transport them into the warehouse; set them on the ground; break down the pallets and place the shipment where it is needed then you are likely to get away with a relatively inexpensive used/secondhand lift truck.
