Questions about forklift hire
Do I need a rough-terrain forklift?
If the machine will work on anything other than concrete or good paving, yes. A standard forklift has small solid tyres and low ground clearance and will bog down or tip on gravel and uneven ground. Rough-terrain forklifts have large pneumatic tyres and higher clearance for building sites and farm yards.
