The Pivot Steer is commonly refereed to as a “bendi” or “flexi” lift truck. They are a cross between a counterbalance and reach lift trucks. Their unique design allows the mast to swing 90° to either side meaning that this type of lift truck works in the narrowest isles, the highest racking bays and the most demanding multi shift operations. Known as an “Articulated Forklift” they are versatile and a multi purpose machine. They allow you to unload in your yard and then do the work of narrow isle fork lifts e.g. Reach eliminating the need for additional machines.

Gets it’s name from being able to “reach” beyond points of a counterbalance lift truck. They use stabilising legs rather than a counterbalance weight to give them essential flexibility of movement. A notable difference is that the operator sits sideways on.
Reach lift trucks are usually chosen for jobs that require lifting to greater heights (10M+) and are usually used indoors on even surfaces due to their low undercarriage. This makes them ideal for reaching out into racking, to great heights and in tight working environments.

These come in a variety of designs. They can be rider operated via a fixed or hinged platform or pedestrian walk along. They are easy to operate and manoeuvre in tight spaces such as a lorry trailer.

Again these come in a wide range from manual, semi and fully powered. Pallet stackers enable operators to carry out the same activities as standard pedestrian pallet trucks but with the additional capability of stacking and de-stacking goods at height.

Typically found in busy distribution centres they like the PPT are designed to improve the efficiency and productivity operating at ground level whilst removing some of the manual handling for the operator. As the name suggests there are a piece of equipment to assist with the transportation whilst picking orders.

The most common forklift truck (FLT) in the workplace. Called counterbalance because of the weight in the rear of the vehicle that compensates for the load being lifted at the front.
They can be 3 or 4 wheeled trucks and also there are Electric, Diesel and Gas Options. The compact design makes them ideal for getting up close and picking up heavy loads to allow fundamental work of lifting, moving and placing items between HGV’s and storage space.
