While investigating second hand fork lifts in and around Craigavon BT64 take into account the physical restrictions of the areas in which a machine will have to operate. In particular consider any doorways through which your forklift will have to move. If your doorways are standard 1.8m (6ft) or 2.4m (8ft) high then you obviously wont be able to use a machine with a collapsed mast height of over 3m (10ft). Before making your selection make sure that all the doorways and openings that it will need to fit through have been measured.
