A 3-tonne diesel forklift used on building sites and in yards for shifting pallets and building materials. It is bought and hired mainly for outdoor work where a diesel engine and rough-terrain tyres suit it better than an electric truck.

Buy or hire the EZ36 if...
A midi excavator for groundworks, utilities and landscaping contractors. At 3.7 tonnes it arrives on a lorry rather than behind a car. It digs to 3,497 mm. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
