When you are investigating caterpillar counterbalance forktrucks in and around Irvine KA12 bear in mind that in the forklift trade, as in the motorcar industry, there is a “grey market”. This is the sale of forklifts imported into the UK from foreign markets. The main problem with these units is that they look the same as UK models but most dealers can’t support them as parts are different to those on UK models and are therefore difficult and expensive to source.
