Rough terrain forklift hire
Built to work off tarmac
A rough terrain forklift carries a load across mud, gravel, hardcore and sloping ground that would stop a standard warehouse truck within a few metres.
Rough terrain machines are not standing stock. On hire they are sourced to specification, so the machine is matched to your ground and your load rather than to what is sitting on a yard.
- Large pneumatic tyres
- High ground clearance
- Four wheel drive on most models
Used on construction sites and at builders merchants, timber and brick yards, farms, recycling and waste sites, and any yard that turns to mud in winter. Rough terrain forklifts for sale and hire

- Up to 7 tonnes in the hire fleet
- From £108 a week for 2.5 tonnes, ex VAT
Capacity on rough ground is not the same as on a flat floor: load charts derate as the mast is raised and as the ground slopes. Tell us the load, the lift height and the ground.
