These features keep the mast, fork and travel movements smooth in numerous situations and environments, minimising any delays or instability due to swaying, boosting performance, and increasing forklift safety.

Our counterbalance forklift trucks have also been fitted with new and improved flat bar overhead guards, which have been reprofiled to ensure the driver can get on and off the truck quickly and easily. The overhead guards protect the vehicle’s front and rear LEDs and the automatic reversing light for maximum forklift safety.
In addition to this, the non-slip step used by operators to mount the truck is one of the lowest available on the market. This enhances operator comfort and reduces the risk of injury during their shift.

We have engineered our overhead guards to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads and protect the operator whilst ensuring the counterbalance forklift’s chassis is narrow enough to manoeuvre warehouse aisles.

Since the responsive weight indicator can identify how much weight is on the counterbalance forklift, it will limit the speed and acceleration if the load is making the truck unstable.
