Diesel Fuelled Counterbalance Material Handlers

Diesel forklift truck hire offers you lower fuel costs and exceptional performance for material handling and lifting heavy loads. You can use counterbalance forklifts for a broad range of outdoor commercial and industrial applications on reasonably flat terrain, and in well-ventilated, open spaces, like yards and hangars.

You can use a forklift truck to move materials over short distances. They are useful for various jobs because they are so versatile and practical. Forklifts are compact and have rear-wheel steering, which means an operator can take advantage of their maneuverability in small spaces and around tight corners. A forked platform is usually at the front or back of the vehicle, and allow for insertion under cargo or loads. You can raise and lower the platform using a hydraulic system, allowing you to move items in a safe and steady way.

Diesel machines are powerful, easy to use, and have low running costs. They have better acceleration and lift speeds compared to LPG or electric models. They are also reliable and have large fuel capacities for extended use. 

We offer 2500kg, 3000kg, and 3500kg capacity machines with 4.7-metre or 6-metre masts and 1.2-metre or 1.8-metre forks, depending upon what you need. If you need a cabin for the area you are working, you can add one to your order during checkout.

If machine is not returned with the same fuel as provided, the difference will be held from your deposit.
