Counterbalance trucks are the most common type of fork lift in use in the UK today and are the workhorse of most materials handling operations.
They come in a vast range of sizes and capacities from small, manoeuvrable electric 3 wheelers of 1000kg capacity through to huge 50,000kg capacity diesel machines. The most common are 2,500kg capacity diesel or LPG machines.
