About the Machinery

During the 1940s and early 1950s, forklift manufacturers often adapted existing industrial, agricultural, and automotive technology to meet growing post-war demands. Engines were commonly sourced from cars, tractors, and stationary power units, while transmissions, axles, steering components, and wheels were frequently shared with other heavy machinery. Wartime material shortages encouraged practical, utilitarian designs with minimal safety features, resulting in distinctive open-frame machines that served as the backbone of British industrial transport.
