Rough Terrain Masted Forklift Training Course

 A rugged, heavy-duty forklift for outdoor and uneven ground

The rough terrain masted forklift is built for challenging conditions. Featuring large, deep-tread tyres and higher ground clearance, it’s designed to move heavy loads across uneven and unpaved surfaces where standard forklifts would struggle.

Ideal for construction sites, agriculture, and outdoor yards

These forklifts are perfect for industries like construction, farming, and timber yards—anywhere you need dependable performance on rough ground. The masted lift design offers excellent stability and visibility for stacking loads outdoors.


Rough terrain forklifts are usually diesel-powered and built for durability, making them a key asset in environments where weather and surface conditions vary. They handle everything from pallets of bricks to bales of hay with ease.
