Whilst you are looking for secondhand lift trucks in and around Ayrshire you might like to be aware that a DIY store was fined over £500,000 and ordered to pay costs of £250,000 following an incident in which a female customer was killed as a result of a lift truck reversing into her. It was found that the lift truck driver had been working without a look-out and as a result had failed to see her.

If you are trying to find secondhand lift trucks in and around Ayrshire it might be worth considering that if you are operating your lift truck in an area with doorways 6ft or 8ft high then you obviously wont be able to use a lift truck that has a mast which is over 10ft tall when fully collapsed in its normal ground travel position and expect it to pass through the doorway. Before choosing your lift truck, measure all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through.

While you are searching for secondhand lift trucks in and around Ayrshire you might like to note that that on average you can expect to get around 12 hours running time from a standard gas truck with a four cylinder engine. It will usually take 3 or 4 days to use up a full tank of gas even with the lift truck being used eight hours a day, as time is spent getting on and off the lift truck, so the lift truck is not usually running all the time.
