"I just wanted to email to say thank you for the excellent service I received from Bluewater Forklifts today. It was an awkward job at short notice, because I kept re-arranging the dates, but David Norman was able to find the right forklift for the job and was always extremely helpful and patient. Also , the forklift driver, Chris (I don’t know his surname), couldn’t have been more helpful and skilled. They both made ,what was a tricky job, seem straight forward and simple. Thank you again for your excellent service, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you."

Access Platforms
Specialist applications
Bluewater have units to tackle the trickiest of applications, such as narrow walkways, rough terrain, limited weight limit and limited headroom.
Boom lifts
Many different varieties of power systems are available, allowing the user to control the equipment whilst on the platform.
Platform heights: 10 to 30m.
Truck mounted units
These vehicles are not operator powered but delivered on a trailer and use legs and feet extending from the base unit, thus creating maximum stability when using outreach. Base units can be lighter than many self-propelled units and are four-wheel drive ideally suited to rough ground. Power is by diesel or bi-energy.
Platform heights 9 to 21m.
Scissor lifts
Available for all applications especially those which need vertical lift and not requiring outreach. Battery-operated lifts are available for working inside, whilst gas and diesel-powered units are available for outdoor use and those which require long-distance travel.
We also have white tyre versions ideally suited for malls and shopping centres.
Platform height 5 to 15m.

Types of Mast
Most common types are duplex and triplex. Cheapest are duplex but if you have height restrictions you'll probably need a triplex with full free lift, which means the forks can go up to the top of the mast before the mast extends
Forklift Stability Triangle
Forklifts are unique when it comes to considering stability. Unlike cars which conform to four point stability, forklifts are subject to a stability triangle which is calculated as the area within the forklift underside, created by three lines which join the two front wheels and the centre of the rear axle.
