While investigating pedestrian counterbalance forklift trucks in and around Southampton SO31 take into account the physical restrictions of the areas in which a machine will have to operate. In particular consider any doorways through which your forklift will have to move. If your doorways are standard 1.8m (6ft) or 2.4m (8ft) high then you obviously wont be able to use a machine with a collapsed mast height of over 3m (10ft). Before making your selection make sure that all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through have been measured.
