It was discovered that the forklift had no seatbelt and there were no safety railings.

While you are researching forklift truck hire in and around Cheshire check the state of the forks on any second hand forklift you look at. Bent forks may need to be replaced.

Once at the floor use a tape to check that both fork tips are the same height from the ground.
