The key to buying or leasing a Used or Reconditioned Forklift is……… the more you know about the unit you’re considering, the better! Here are important areas for you to consider.
1) How to minimize the risk
ASK THESE QUESTIONS!
• How old is the forklift? With the serial number we can verify the age of any brand.
• How many hours are on the hour meter? Remember, a forklift with 10,000 hours on it is like having 350,000 miles on your car!
• Can you verify the hours as original? There are ways to do this….ask us how!
• Has it been properly maintained?
• What environment has the unit been used in?
• Is there a new paint job masking minimum reconditioning?
• What is the warranty?
We are happy to discuss any or all of these potential risks in detail….just as us
2) Sources
There are several sources for finding a used forklift. In highest to lowest risk these are:
