We all know how crucial it is to pick the right type of forklift according to both our needs and the environment we work in. If your environment includes both indoor and outdoor space and the ground is uneven in vesting in an all-terrain forklift could make all the difference. Here’s why.

All-terrain forklifts are designed to operate in rough or rugged environments, like construction sites. They have specialised tyres and are built in a way to carry heavy loads across challenging terrain. Most all-terrain forklifts have diesel engines, giving them the extra power they need to navigate rough surfaces.

They operate in 4 wheel drive which in turn reduces wear and tear on the truck and tyres. All-terrain trucks have a higher ground clearance to ensure thy can easily navigate uneven surfaces and are designed to carry heavier loads than other forklifts. Some can carry 100,000 pounds over rough surfaces.

For full forklift efficiency, it is vital you pick the right vehicle according to your needs. Do your research and consider carefully the sort of typical tasks required from your forklift. Whilst an all-terrain forklift comes top when it comes to power, it won’t have the precision required in some warehouses either.

Given the changing needs of many warehouses, lots of organisations rent forklift trucks to provide more flexibility in the working environment. There are long term and short term rental options available when it comes to forklifts – but which option suits your needs the most?

Short term rental options provide the ultimate flexibility to your organisation. You also have more control over costs when it comes to forklifts, and the maintenance and repair needs of your truck are often the responsibility of the rental company, lowering costs for you. With short term rentals you can have access to newer models more quickly and you’ll have no concerns when it comes to depreciation of your forklift.

Longer term rental agreements provide you with more stability for sure. You’ll have access to the equipment over a longer period of time which can be more useful when planning workflows. You’re likely to pay lower monthly costs and have fewer administration needs when working long term with the same supplier. You’’ also be provided with full maintenance and support from your forklift provider.
