If you’re considering purchasing a used forklift rather than a brand new forklift, it can be quite a cost-effective choice for your business.
However, it’s always important to make careful considerations before making the final decision to make sure that it is the correct decision for your business. In this article, we will outline three things to carefully consider and think about before coming to a decision:
Similarly with a car, it is important to make a note of the age and usage of a used forklift. Experts in the industry agree that a forklift that’s been used for an hour is the equivalent of a car that’s been driven 50km so it's important to make a note of how many hours the forklift has accumulated.
It is important to make sure that the forklift you are thinking of purchasing is suitable for your business and longevity. Do I need an electric, diesel or LPG forklift? What type of forklift do I need?
Engineers should keep a record of any past maintenance a forklift has undergone. And used forklifts will also have a certificate, which should confirm that the machinery has had a thorough examination. So it’s very important to see a copy of this certificate before buying.
