Budget Forktrucks offers brand-new and high-quality pre-owned LPG-powered Counterbalance Forklift Trucks and diesel-powered Counterbalance Forklift Trucks for hire and for sale. The Counterbalance Forklift Truck is the most popular and versatile type of forklifts, often considered the backbone of material handling machinery. The key to its operation is the heavy rear counterweight that offsets the weight of the load, keeping the forklift stable during lifting and moving loads.

Choose the acquisition strategy that fits your needs. Whether you’re looking to hire or ready to buy, we have the solution for you. Budget’s LPG-powered and diesel-powered Counterbalance Forklift Trucks deliver the reliability and performance you need to tackle even the toughest jobs with confidence.
Counterbalance Forklift Trucks powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) are ideally suited to heavy-duty applications due to their increased lifting capacity, longer operational performance and overall robustness.
Engineered with four wheels to maximise weight carrying ability, they can lift loads of 2,000 kgs to 16,000 kgs up to heights of 8 metres. Whilst the larger size wheels than electrically powered units are suitable for operation across uneven mixed surfaces found when moving loads in outdoor environments.
Forklift Trucks powered by LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) offer a balance between electric and diesel-powered units. They are more economical and have lower emissions than a diesel engine, with the endurance to operate in multi-shift operations unlike some electrically powered units.
Diesel-powered Forklift Trucks are known for the ability to lift the heaviest loads and offer increased productivity featuring the longest operational hours. Modern diesel engines are more energy efficient and meet stringent EU5 emission regulations.
We stock machines from industry-leading brands like Bobcat, Doosan, Caterpillar, Clark, Crown, EP Equipment, Hyster-Yale, Jungheinrich, Komatsu, Lansing, Linde, Manitou, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, and many more – that are perfect for businesses of any size and budget.
