UK installation lifting and moving specialist Ainscough Industrial Services (AIS) has taken delivery of two 27 tonne Hoist Liftruck FR40/60 forklifts.
The Hoist FR 40/60 has a capacity of 18.1 tonnes with the counterweight retracted, or 27.2 tonnes when extended and at a load centre of 900mm. It is powered by an LPG engine driving a two speed hydrostatic drive train.

The Hoist includes a two stage, free lift mast and a carriage with a fork positioner, as well as a hydraulically powered multi-stage telescopic boom. The operator cab has a digital display unit for monitoring key functions. The units were ordered through dealer Flegg Projects, which began distributing for Forklift Exchange last year.

Flegg Projects said: “A beautiful day to show off two new Hoist FR40/60’s that were delivered to their new home at Ainscough Industrial Services. Flegg Projects is proud to be the first UK and European dealer for Forklift Exchange, and we keep a selection of brand new forklifts in stock.”
AIS - which acquired Flegg Projects in February last year, was established in 1976, when the Ainscough family formed an industrial services company, adding assets and team members from Pickford Vanguard in 2005 to form Ainscough Vanguard. The AIS group was formed in 2013, and Ainscough Vanguard was renamed AIS Vanguard. The acquisition of AIS Wind Energy came in 2019, followed by the formation of AIS Eurelo in 2020 to create a pan-European industrial services operation working in the wind energy, aerospace, pharmaceutical and automotive sectors, with around 300 employees across 15 European locations.
