When you are trying to find cheap lift trucks in and around East Lothian bear in mind that a 7,000lb triple stage 17ft mast does not mean that it can take 7,000lb and lift it 17ft in the air. Lift height greatly diminishes as the height of the load increases and above 10ft the load capacity drops off considerably. Always refer to the manufacturers load chart which will show the differential drop as the lift goes higher.

If you are trying to find cheap lift trucks in and around East Lothian it might be worth considering that if you are operating your lift truck in an area with doorways 6ft or 8ft high then you obviously wont be able to use a lift truck that has a mast which is over 10ft tall when fully collapsed in its normal ground travel position and expect it to pass through the doorway. Before choosing your lift truck, measure all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through.
