While you are trying to find lift truck leasing in and around Gloucestershire you might like to note that leaks on a second hand lift truck can be expensive to fix and although some leaks can be fixed in a couple of hours with a relatively inexpensive seal kit, leaks on triple stage masts can take considerably longer and lend themselves to very expensive repair costs.

While you are searching for lift truck leasing in and around Gloucestershire you might like to note that that on average you can expect to get around 12 hours running time from a standard gas truck with a four cylinder engine. It will usually take 3 or 4 days to use up a full tank of gas even with the lift truck being used eight hours a day, as time is spent getting on and off the lift truck, so the lift truck is not usually running all the time.

Whilst you are looking for lift truck leasing in and around Gloucestershire you might like to be aware that a lift truck driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 after an incident in which he was driving a lift truck with a stack of 12 modular sheds. The sheds obscured the drivers vision and as a result he hit a fellow employee with the load causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. It is important that individuals are aware that they, as well as their employer, have duties under the law to take reasonable care of the health and safety of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work. In this case the employer had employed an in-house lift truck trainer and the driver had received regular refresher training and re-testing and as a result it was the employee not the employer that was fined for this incident.
