Diesel Forklift, Petrol Forklift | Sales & Hire Suppliers in Hobart

Think how much shorter warehouses would be without forklifts. Think how tall they are as a result of them. More to the point, think how tall racking systems have become with forklifts now capable of stacking heavy pallets 18 metres off the ground. That’s over four storeys!

Forklifts have utterly revolutionised warehousing, vastly reducing the real estate required to store a large amount of product and facilitating the easy movement of bulk goods from rack to truck. However, it’s not just warehouses and factories benefiting from forklifts; ports, construction sites, farms and recycling operations use them extensively. Forklifts can even be used as snow ploughs with the right attachments.

Forklifts are as diverse as the roles they fill. At the power-packed, heavy duty end of the scale are large petrol, diesel and LPG forklifts. Electric forklifts offer power without pollution. While reach trucks offer reach and agility in small spaces. Petrol and diesel forklifts are among the most popular choices due to their power, sturdiness and ability to perform well in outdoor and heavy industrial environments.
