These sit down forklifts are called counterbalanced forklifts. They come in either 3 or 4 wheel combinations. Capacities are normally 1 ton to 4 ton (heavier units are available but are scarce). Choices are 2 stage masts or triple masts (container entry are also available). Lift heights are up to 7 metres.

• You can have many options; side shift, fork positioners, clamps etc.
• Insist on a new battery if over 3 years or if no ID plate is on the battery, don't be fooled by the words "Good Battery".
