How do I choose the correct size and capacity of rough terrain forklift for my needs?
The right RTFL depends on your typical load weights, lift heights and site conditions.
Consider the following:
- Load weight: choose a capacity that comfortably exceeds your heaviest regular lifts
- Lift height: ensure the machine can reach the required stacking height
- Ground conditions: rougher terrain may require a more powerful model with larger tyres
- Attachment needs: some jobs require specific attachments such as buckets or clamps
- Space and turning areas: tighter sites may benefit from more compact models
The Scot JCB team can assess your workload and recommend the model that offers the safest and most efficient performance for your operation.
