Engineering savvy makes reach truck hire work
Finding a fork lift truck for hire can be a fairly simple task, but when the requirement is for lifting to 11 metres, it can prove a more complicated challenge.
Davicon is a mezzanine design and manufacturer located in Brierley Hill, specialising in mezzanine floors and mezzanine levels. McLeman Forklift Services, a division of Linde Forklift Truck Hire, was able to help when the manufacturer needed a reach truck.
Ian Priest, project manager at Davicon said: “The trucks from McLemans enable us to unload lorries and lift steel structures which sometimes can mean lifts up to 11 metres. The availability of this type of machine on hire for either long or short periods is imperative to our business.”
Using trucks with lift heights to 11 metres involves the removal of the mast for transportation and re-masting on site by Linde engineers. The engineers return to site and de-mast once the project is complete, ready for the truck to be returned.
Linde Forklift Truck Hire operates one of the largest fork lift truck rental fleets in the UK with over 10,000 trucks available to be hired ranging from one day to as long as required. Linde’s stock ranges from pallet trucks right up to counterbalance trucks with capacities of 52 tonnes, making them able to supply machines for every type of application.
