When the driver started the vehicle it suddenly moved forward, trapping him against the machine.

When you are trying to find lift trucks to buy in and around scotland 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.
