When you are investigating reconditioned electric forktrucks in and around Lanarkshire 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.

Whilst looking for reconditioned electric forktrucks in and around Lanarkshire remember that a 600mm (2ft) load centre means the maximum length of the load should not be more than 1200mm (4ft). It is also worth remembering that the lift capacity decreases as the load length increases.

If you are researching reconditioned electric forktrucks in and around Lanarkshire simulation software can give you a better understanding of how your warehouse could operate. Using your data including warehouse size, racking dimensions and the number of loading and unloading bays, these software packages can provide different scenarios based upon varying the equipment type. You can then use this information to determine the optimum fleet mix to maximise productivity while minimising costs.
