While you are researching fork truck hire in and around Slough SL1 be aware that a second hand electric forklift could have a battery with a bad cell. This does not always mean that the battery needs to be changed as it is sometimes possible to just replace the damaged cell. Replacing a single cell is much less expensive than fitting a new battery but if more than one cell needs to be replaced it is usually not cost-effective to replace them.
