Budget Forktrucks offers brand-new and high-quality pre-owned Electric Counterbalance Forklift Trucks for hire and for sale. The Counterbalance Forklift Truck is the most popular and versatile type of forklifts, widely regarded as the workhorse of all material handling equipment. The key to its operation is the heavy rear counterweight that offsets the weight of the load, keeping the forklift truck stable during lifting and moving loads.

Counterbalance Forklift Trucks powered by robust electric motors excel at handling heavy loads in warehouse operations and distribution centres thanks to their zero emissions and low levels of operational noise.
Available with four wheels to maximise weight carrying ability and with three wheels for increased manoeuvrability in tight spaces, they can lift loads of 1,200 kgs to 10,000 kgs up to heights of 8 metres. They can operate outdoors where the ground is level and hard standing.
