Would you like to buy a second-hand forklift?
With investments between 10,000 USD and 200,000 USD this decision is not easy. Also the high degree of specialization including expensive equipment like sideshifts and any special construction makes the buying decision hard. But here comes rescue: The most important buying considerations are only a few: the type of tires, the loading capacity, the lifting height, the type of mast and the type of drive.
Tire:
Forklifts are available with cushion tires, pneumatic tires, super-elastic tires and solid tires with each variant being good for different usage.
Loading capacity:
Up to which weight should a pallet be lifted? From 2,500 lb to 40 tons everything exists.
Lifting height and mast:
Up to which height should a pallet be lifted? one story? two or three stories?
Drive:
The most common drives are electric, diesel and lpg but in the meantime hybrid and fuel cell drives exist as well.
Furthermore, ask yourself these questions to find a suitable used liftruck:
What is the scope of the forklift? Do you just need to lift a 2,500 lb pallet indoors or do you have an outdoor use?
For indoor use, 3-wheel forklifts with non-marking tires are popular and usually electric forklifts are in use. Diesel forklift trucks are more common outside as they can adapt to the terrain. Rough terrain forklifts impress by their big tires.
What brand do you need?
If you have a fleet of a certain brand like toyota, yale, Linde, Jungheinrich or hyster, you might have an advantage adding a forklift from the same brand and type as you can use equipment like sideshifts then for all machines. As well, the use of the same models of a forklift, stacker or pallet truck might be appreciated by the operaters in your organization.
Advantages - buying a used forklift truck
- long-term cost advantages with intensive, daily use and regular transport of pallets and other material
- Relatively constant costs over the useful life provides a good basis for budget planning
- Superficial paint damage to the chassis of the used forklift truck is rather secondary
- Larger companies with a fleet of forklifts are more flexible and do not have to resort to external service providers to cope with load peaks.
Investment in a forklift - Considerations
- A significant investment in the purchase of the forklift is necessary.
- For long-term use, you may not rely on the technology and advantages of the latest model generation.
- Does the counterbalance forklift truck purchased today comply with company-internal and general safety or emission standards?
- Does the current equipment (like a sideshift for example) fit to new used forklift?
- Operators of several company locations may need to plan for the transport of forklifts with changing tasks
