While investigating suppliers of diesel forktrucks in and around Kent be aware that electric forklifts are virtually emission free, very quiet, are usually less prone to breakdowns and are generally around 25% cheaper to operate and maintain than internal combustion gas or diesel forklift trucks.

When you are investigating suppliers of diesel forktrucks in and around Kent 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.

Tip - During your research into suppliers of diesel forktrucks near Kent remember that even in the best companies things can go wrong – be suspicious of a supplier that says they never have any problems!
