Whilst you are looking for used counterbalanced forktrucks in and around Kidderminster DY14 you might like to be aware that an employee was run over by a forklift truck resulting in both his legs being broken, leaving him unable to walk for almost two years.

When you are investigating used counterbalanced forktrucks in and around Kidderminster DY14 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.
