If you have come to our website to find forklift truck rental in and around Somerset then we would like to give you some tips.
Whilst investigating forklift truck rental in and around Somerset remember that safety can be improved by looking for a low dashboard that allows better sight of the fork tips.
If you are researching forklift truck rental in and around Somerset you may wish to know that a business was fined over £50,000 when an employee was crushed to death. A forklift driver had performed an emergency stop while going round a corner in order to avoid hitting another member of staff. However the sudden braking caused the goods being carried to fall off and pin the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.
When you are investigating forklift truck rental 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.
When trying to find forklift truck rental in and around Somerset ensure that you check the wording of warranties. They can differ immensely and you need to be sure exactly what is and isn’t included. For example some warranties allow for another forklift to be provided whilst warranty work is being carried out whereas other warranties only cover the work itself.
