  • Diesel Fuelled Counterbalance Material Handlers

    Diesel forklift truck hire offers you lower fuel costs and exceptional performance for material handling and lifting heavy loads. You can use counterbalance forklifts for a broad range of outdoor commercial and industrial applications on reasonably flat terrain, and in well-ventilated, open spaces, like yards and hangars.

    You can use a forklift truck to move materials over short distances. They are useful for various jobs because they are so versatile and practical. Forklifts are compact and have rear-wheel steering, which means an operator can take advantage of their maneuverability in small spaces and around tight corners. A forked platform is usually at the front or back of the vehicle, and allow for insertion under cargo or loads. You can raise and lower the platform using a hydraulic system, allowing you to move items in a safe and steady way.

    Diesel machines are powerful, easy to use, and have low running costs. They have better acceleration and lift speeds compared to LPG or electric models. They are also reliable and have large fuel capacities for extended use. 

    We offer 2500kg, 3000kg, and 3500kg capacity machines with 4.7-metre or 6-metre masts and 1.2-metre or 1.8-metre forks, depending upon what you need. If you need a cabin for the area you are working, you can add one to your order during checkout.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.

If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.

YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.

If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.

An insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have proof of your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and wish to opt-out of the insurance charge, you can do so by booking via Live Chat.
