If you are researching stacker trucks in and around scotland you may wish to know that a business was fined over £50,000 when an employee was crushed to death. A forklift driver had performed an emergency stop while going round a corner in order to avoid hitting another member of staff. However the sudden braking caused the goods being carried to fall off and pin the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.

If you are trying to find stacker trucks in and around scotland you might like to know that electric forklifts will generally short out if used in the rain. This can often result in the forklift needing a couple of days to dry out before it can be used again.
