Every incident runs on pallets: water, MREs, tents, cots, hose, sorbents and PPE all arrive on trucks that need to be unloaded quickly. Forklifts move that freight in a warehouse or on a paved pad. Rough-terrain forklifts and telehandlers do it on gravel and dirt, and a telehandler's boom reaches over obstacles, onto flatbeds and into the second tier of a stack.
On a wildfire, KDT rents forklifts and telehandlers by the day or week, usually dry so the Logistics Section can run them, to move supplies, food and equipment for camp and operations. Order a forklift or a telehandler with 4,000 to 10,000 lb lift capacity. Wildfire telehandlers are all-terrain or rough-terrain with four-wheel drive, pneumatic tires and a vertical reach of 15 to 60 feet.
On any incident, KDT can also supply the machines with operators and run them as part of a staging or warehouse operation.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide forklifts and telehandlers for incident staging areas?
Yes. We supply warehouse forklifts, rough-terrain forklifts and telehandlers for staging areas, warehouses and base camps.
Do your forklifts come with an operator?
Either way. Wildfire camps usually rent forklifts and telehandlers dry and run them with incident personnel. KDT can also send operators with the machines.
Do I need a rough-terrain forklift?
If the ground is gravel, dirt or a field, yes. Warehouse forklifts are built for concrete and paved pads.
