• What are the main advantages of an articulated forklift like the AisleMaster 20S?

  Articulated forklifts offer significant space-saving benefits by operating in much narrower aisles than conventional counterbalance or reach trucks, increasing storage capacity. They can also load and unload lorries, reducing the need for multiple types of trucks.

• Is this type of forklift suitable for outdoor use?

• What kind of maintenance does an electric articulated forklift typically require?

• Can this forklift handle different pallet sizes?

• What training is required to operate an articulated forklift?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
