If you are researching a pallet stacker in and around Edinburgh EH16 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.

When you are researching a pallet stacker in and around Edinburgh EH16 remember that a Reach truck is most suitable for narrow-aisle applications but as it is a ride-on truck it is dearer than a pedestrian stacker.
