The forklift truck is the quintessential workhorse of virtually every logistics business in the UK.

Whether it be warehouses, factories, builders merchants or retail you will be sure to find them buzzing around the premises at each of those particular workplaces.

The maximum periodic examination frequency for a forklift truck is twelve months. However, if a forklift truck is being used to lift a person in a properly designed lifting basket / cage then the examination frequency increases to every six months.
