Which forklift suits your work in Dordrecht?
Stacking high at DistriPark Dordrecht
With high racking, an ordinary forklift often runs short of space and height. A reach truck turns in a narrow aisle and reaches a lift height of up to 13.5 metres. Before you send your request, measure how high the top beam is and how wide the aisle is. You can read more about loading and unloading at the docks under working at docks and loading platforms.
Transhipment in the Zeehaven of Dordrecht
In the Zeehaven, cargo goes from ship to shore and from shore to lorry. That work is done outdoors, in all weathers and often with heavy loads. For this you rent a diesel forklift, available from us from 2.5 to 30 tonnes. Do you also have work on the other side of the Hollandsch Diep? Then see forklift rental in Moerdijk.
Metal and shipbuilding in the Drechtsteden
Plates, sections and machine parts are long and heavy and are rarely on a pallet. In that case the length of the load matters as well as its weight. Inside the hall you choose an electric forklift, outside a diesel. Fork extensions give a long load more support. See forklift rental for the metal industry and renting attachments with the forklift.
Practical questions about renting in Dordrecht
How long is your drive from Heijningen to Dordtse Kil or the Zeehaven?
Dordtse Kil III is 29 km away, about 26 minutes without traffic. To Krabbepolder near the Zeehaven it is 33 km and about 30 minutes, to Staart-Oost 36 km. We fix when we deliver in Dordrecht as soon as you send your request. For Zwijndrecht or Papendrecht, see forklift rental in South Holland.
May the forklift travel by road from Dordtse Kil II to III?
Only if the truck and the driver comply with the rules for public roads. What is required is explained in is a forklift allowed on public roads. If you would rather have the truck moved for you, state both addresses in your request. We arrange the transport and list the costs separately in the quote.
We work in shifts at DistriPark Dordrecht. Electric or LPG?
Both are possible. An electric forklift is quiet and produces no exhaust fumes, but the battery has to be charged in between. Let us know how many hours a day the truck runs and what power connection you have. With LPG the truck does not stand idle for charging: a full gas cylinder is fitted in no time. Indoors that is only possible in a well-ventilated hall. More under forklift rental for shift work.
We are moving to premises at Dordtse Kil IV. Can we rent temporarily for that?
Yes. A move to the Dordtse Kil usually takes days or weeks; you rent the forklift for that long. If racking has to be filled, a reach truck or stacker is added. Dordtse Kil IV is 28 km from Heijningen, about a 25-minute drive without traffic. Give us the old and the new address, and the quote will show the transport per address.
