Choosing a Counterbalance Forklift
Counterbalance forklifts carry the load out in front on forks, with weight in the rear of the machine balancing it. They need no outriggers and no dedicated narrow aisle, which is why they cover most standard pallet work. Our range spans 0.6 tonne up to 48 tonne, in three wheel and four wheel layouts and in both electric and combustion drive.
Three wheel models turn tighter and suit indoor work with limited space. Four wheel models are more stable on uneven or outdoor surfaces and carry higher capacities. Tyre choice matters as much as capacity: cushion tyres for smooth indoor floors, pneumatic tyres for yards and semi-sealed ground.
Before you choose, check:
- Three wheel for tight turning, four wheel for stability and capacity
- Electric for indoor work, LPG or diesel where run time and refuelling matter
- Mast type and free lift if you load inside containers or under beams
- Tyre type matched to your floor, not just to the price
- Residual capacity at your actual lift height, not the nameplate figure
