If you have come to our website to find lift truck companies in and around Northamptonshire then we would like to give you some tips.
When trying to find lift truck companies in and around Northamptonshire you may wish to know that the owner of a waste firm was fined £20,000 and £6,000 costs after an accident in which an employee died when the forklift he was driving fell from a weighbridge and landed on him causing fatal head injuries. It was discovered that the forklift had no seatbelt and there were no safety railings.
While investigating lift truck companies in and around Northamptonshire you might wish to be aware that a forklift driver also has a legal duty to ensure the safety of others. In one case a forklift driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 plus costs after an incident in which he hit a fellow employee causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. The driver''s vision was impaired by the load he was carrying. In this case the employer had employed an in-house forklift 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 investigating lift truck companies in and around Northamptonshire take into account the physical restrictions of the areas in which a machine will have to operate. In particular consider any doorways through which your forklift will have to move. If your doorways are standard 1.8m (6ft) or 2.4m (8ft) high then you obviously wont be able to use a machine with a collapsed mast height of over 3m (10ft). Before making your selection make sure that all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through have been measured.
When you are investigating lift truck companies in and around Northamptonshire 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.
