FAQS

What is LOLER?

LOLER is an acronym for the UK’s Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. It ensures all workplace lifting equipment is well-maintained, safe for use, and used correctly to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace. It applies to all equipment used at height, including (but not limited to) forklifts, pallet trucks, cranes, elevators, slings and lorry loaders. The responsibility falls to anyone who owns, operates or controls lifting equipment to follow these regulations, the duties of which include: Thoroughly and systematically examining all equipment before use. Properly planning all lifting activities. Keeping detailed records of all examinations and inspections. Ensuring equipment is strong and stable enough for the task at hand, referring to its safe working load. Scheduling the training of all operators before they are allowed to use the equipment.
How to Buy a Forklift?

To buy a forklift from an online retailer, many offer an instant checkout option similar to Amazon. In this case, all you need to do is input your payment information and delivery address, and your forklift will be delivered directly to your warehouse. Some forklifts are only available for purchase through enquiry and can not be instantly purchased online. And some forklifts, older models in particular, necessitate an in-person inspection to ensure total satisfaction before purchase.
How Does a Heli Forklift Lithium Battery Work?

A lithium forklift battery works by moving lithium ions from an anode (negative electrode) to a cathode (positive electrode), to generate electric currents. The system is controlled and contained within an electrolyte solution that allows the ions to move. This is a reversible chemical reaction that stops when your forklift is turned off. The battery is charged through intercalation, meaning the lithium ions return to the anode and are stored within the molecular layers of the electrode solution, without permanently bonding to the anode. It is this that allows for the repeated charge-discharge cycles that single-use batteries don’t facilitate.
Where to Buy Heli Forklift Parts?

Heli forklift parts can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Heli has six complete machine factories and eight spare parts plants, supplying replacement parts to Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. There are also many independent part dealerships across the UK, should you wish to go that route instead.
Heli Forklift Price, how Much Will it be?

The price of a Heli forklift starts from £2,000, depending on its age, model, power type, and inclusion of additional features. Electric Heli forklifts are usually more expensive upfront due to the technology involved in battery manufacturing. Similarly, its production will require additional costs if the forklift requires robust reinforcements, such as larger engines, thicker pneumatic tyres, or a multi-stage lift mast for heavy-duty use. Like a car, with the more operating hours a forklift already has, its value will have, and continue to, depreciate with use. Similarly, the physical condition and documented maintenance history of a Heli forklift will incur a lower or higher price. Lastly, specialised attachments and additional features that increase the forklift’s versatility will increase its value.
