Details

Rough-terrain /counterbalanced forklifts are versatile tools for a number of Industries and Construction trades. Because they are such a commonly used and accessible piece of equipment, there is also a great potential for misuse and possible incidents by inadequately trained workers who may not recognize potential hazards.

Operated by well-trained workers, the machines provide a safe and efficient method of moving materials and placing them in otherwise difficult-to-access locations.
