We supply warehouse, industrial, and archive furniture, as well as forklifts
A counterbalance forklift is the forklift most people picture first: forks at the front, a heavy counterweight at the rear. That simple design lets the truck drive right up to a pallet or stillage and lift it without outriggers. With 3‑wheel or 4‑wheel chassis and a choice of electric, LPG or diesel power, a counterbalance forklift covers fast, everyday handling in warehouses, factories and yards.
Choose an electric counterbalance forklift to reduce emissions and noise. Modern lithium-ion batteries enable opportunity charging and consistent performance across the shift. For rougher yards and heavier loads, an LPG forklift or a diesel forklift offers long run time and strong traction. With lift capacity from light pallets to around 25 tonnes, and with common forklift attachments such as sideshift or a fork positioner, this counterbalance forklift truck is the workhorse that keeps material moving safely and efficiently.

A counterbalance forklift balances the load on its forks with a counterweight at the rear of the truck. On many electric models the battery contributes to that counterweight, improving stability without increasing the external size. Because the forks project from the front, the truck can approach the load directly, making it ideal for fast pallet handling, vehicle loading and general transport between workstations.
Clean, quiet and precise to drive. With lithium-ion energy, charging can be done opportunistically during natural breaks, so uptime stays high without battery swaps. Electric trucks suit indoor applications especially well and, with the right tyres and weather protection, also work outdoors.
An LPG forklift offers fast refuelling, strong acceleration and reliable performance. It is a versatile choice for mixed indoor/outdoor use when ventilation is adequate and long, continuous shifts are required.
A diesel counterbalance forklift delivers maximum torque and is well suited to rough yards, timber and steel handling or construction logistics. Modern engines meet current Stage V emissions requirements and provide long, uninterrupted run time.
Compared to lead‑acid, lithium‑ion power brings practical gains that operators notice every day:
Counterbalance forklifts are at home in logistics terminals and distribution centres for dock work, cross‑docking and pallet transfer. In manufacturing they feed lines with raw materials, move work‑in‑progress and shuttle finished goods to despatch. Outdoors they handle packs of timber, steel sections and construction materials on hardstanding. The same truck type serves recycling sites, ports and events work where large pieces of equipment or staging must be positioned safely.
Counterbalance forklifts typically cover from 1.5 tonnes to 25 tonnes. Always match lift capacity to the load centre and mast height required in your operation. A shorter wheelbase improves turning radius; larger pneumatic tyres and a 4‑wheel chassis help when surfaces are uneven. Where precise placement is needed, look for mast tilt, proportional hydraulics and fine control at low speed.
Yes. Diesel and LPG forklifts are natural outdoor performers. Electric counterbalance forklifts can also work outside when fitted with suitable tyres and weather protection.
Every model has its own rating. Depending on the model, the lifting capacity ranges from around 1.5 tons up to as much as 25 tons.
3‑wheel offers maximum manoeuvrability in tight spaces. 4‑wheel offers higher capacity and stability, especially on uneven outdoor surfaces. Choose based on your loads, aisles and ground conditions.
