Custom forklift questions

Can you build a container forklift?

Yes. A container mast has a low closed height, so the forklift drives into shipping containers, and free lift, so the forks rise before the mast extends. Send your container door height: your drawing shows the closed mast height under it before you approve.

Can I have long forks or a special attachment on a forklift?

Yes. Long forks for long loads, side shift, a fork positioner, a rotator, or clamps for paper rolls, bales, drums or cartons. Send the load type, weight and size: your drawing shows the fork length and load centre.

Can you fit an enclosed cab to a forklift?

Yes. An enclosed cab with a heater, for outdoor and cold work.

Which power types and tyres can you build?

Diesel, LPG or lithium electric, with solid, pneumatic or non-marking tyres, and four-wheel drive for rough terrain.

Do I approve a drawing before my forklift is built?

Yes. Every build starts with a dimensioned drawing you approve: closed mast height, free lift, maximum fork height, fork length, load centre and overall length. Nothing is built until you approve it in writing.

How fast do you reply to a custom forklift request?
