Budget Forktrucks Blog and News

As more industries begin to reopen, we are seeing how social distancing will impact our industry as we move forward over the summer.

First let us send you our best wishes. We hope that you and your family are safe and well during the lockdown.

Here at Budget we are working and able to deliver our services as usual.

The technology of forklift trucks has been improved significantly in recent years, and none more so than electric forklifts. Doosan electric forklift trucks lead by example, but there are broad advantages to going electric when investing in new forklift trucks.

Maybe the equipment at your warehouse or site has been forced out of action, or maybe you are receiving more commercial demand and require additional resources to keep operations running smoothly. Forklifts are an absolute essential for moving heavy loads at construction sites, warehouses, storage facilities and more. Whatever your reasoning, many turn to investing in a new forklift without considering the benefits offered by short term forklift hire.

When it comes to anything from a factory or warehouse, to a distribution centre or logistics company, forklifts are a must-have essential for the safe and quick movement of products and goods. However, as with any vehicle, driving a forklift requires training in order to really get the hang of how to operate one safely. Whether you’re hiring new staff who may have never stepped foot on a forklift before, or your existing staff are in need of training for new machinery or a refresher course, forklift driver training can provide you and your staff with the resources to hit the ground running.

It’s been a great year here at Budget Fork Trucks and as we are heading towards the end of the year and the Christmas break, we thought it might be a good idea to look back over 2019 and celebrate some of the highlights.

Forklift trucks are incredibly versatile but are predominantly used to stack, lift and transport goods and materials. They are most commonly used in warehouses and construction sites as they can move heavy items safely and efficiently.

Many business owners in the materials handling industry are unaware of the benefits of simply hiring forklifts in the long-term instead of purchasing them.
