Looking for Forklifts for Hire in Swindon

November 10th, 2011

When working within a warehouse environment or on a construction site, it’s likely that you’ll rely heavily on the uses offered by a forklift. Unfortunately the everyday strain put on such an appliance can cause faults to occur, meaning the appliance needs time in the repair centre. This doesn’t mean that work on site needs to stop, instead you can hire the perfect forklifts Swindon from a professional firm such as our team at MJC.

As the South’s largest independent forklift hire company, we at MJC have a fleet of over 300 machines available to hire for anywhere between one day and five years. We also understand that different situations call for different models, which is why we stock both forklifts which are suitable for use within an industrial setting and those which are ideal to be used outside or on a construction site. Whatever forklift you’re after, we’re guaranteed to have an appliance which suits your needs and requirements.

Counterbalance:

Counterbalance forklifts have been designed to handle heavier weights without the possibility of tipping like an electric or industrial forklift; this makes them perfect to be used within construction settings. Due to the counterbalance weight within the machine, the user of the forklift is also guaranteed to be safe and have full control over the appliance and goods being moved.

Industrial:

When working within a warehouse or any industrial building there’s a good chance that you’ll be required to move and transport various sized and weighted goods. With the help of an industrial forklift the task of doing so is easier. Here at MJC we also have telescopic forklifts available within our industrial range.

Whatever you need forklifts Swindon for and for whatever time period, by contacting our team here at MJC you’ll be able to hire the perfect appliance at a price which suits your budget.

Safety Tips for Using Forklift Trucks

August 10th, 2011

Recent statistics have revealed that there are 400 major injuries caused by forklifts within the UK per year. Unfortunately, this equates to at least one person getting injured per day as a result of a forklift. A lot of these accidents can be prevented if the right training is provided before a fork lift is used. This why here at MJC, we’ve compiled these safety tips for forklift trucks Swindon.

Before Using:

The checks you make before using the forklift could make the difference between you or someone in your factory becoming seriously injured. For this reason, it’s extremely important to check all areas of the forklift before getting in and turning the key in the ignition.

It’s advisable to check for any loose parts or faults which could potentially cause injury. If possible, you should also check the brakes, lights and that the back-up alarm is working correctly.

Drivers:

A forklift, although not as powerful as your family car or the used trucks in your business’ fleet, should be treated with the same respect. This includes wearing the seatbelt whilst driving the machine and preventing unauthorised drivers from getting behind the wheel.

As you would when driving your car around the High Street, watch out for pedestrians, give way at any junctions in your factory and if you need to let people know you’re there, (such as when going through doors or reversing) use your horn.

Pedestrians:

If a forklift is being used in the area that you’re working within, make sure never to walk under raised forks and never stand on the forks themselves.

Whilst we here at MJC can provide you with the forklift trucks Swindon and advice on how to use the appliance safely, it’s down to you as the driver to prevent accidents occurring. If you’d like more safety advice please contact us via 01235 767717.
