Choosing the right forklift truck for your application requires careful thought and research. At 2H Storage Solutions, we simplify this process for you. Many forklift types exist, and identifying the best fit for your environment can be challenging. Our experts understand the key factors to consider when selecting forklifts for purchase or hire.
Before deciding on a forklift, consider the width and type of pallet racking. All forklifts have specific weight limits, so you need to account for pallet size and weight. Height is also crucial—most forklifts lift between 3.0m and 5.0m, while some models reach over 8.0m. Scissor lifts can offer working heights up to 60 feet. The size of your warehouse, the weight of loads, and traveling distance will influence your choice.
We offer a full range of gas, diesel, and electric forklift trucks. Gas forklifts perform best and can operate indoors and outdoors, making them ideal for most warehouse tasks. Electric forklifts are cleaner, quieter, and more eco-friendly. Diesel forklifts excel in external yard work, handling various conditions effectively.
We also sell used forklifts, providing a cost-effective option. However, investing in a new machine often proves cheaper in the long run. Safety is a priority; we provide optional extras like side shifts, back-up alarms, warning lights, and load indicators.
You can hire all machines from one day up to five or six years, depending on your needs.
At 2h Storage Solutions, we advise you on the best material handling solutions for your warehouse. If you need complete redesign and installation of pallet racking along with forklift hire or purchase, we are your one-stop shop. Call our experts at 01937 585 057 today.
