A short list for you to consider when buying a forklift.

 

1) Specify what and how much you need to be lifting. This automatically narrows your search by tonnage.

2) Determine how high you need said goods to be lifted. This is a two part question since forklifts have a mast infront of the chassis. If you need to clear a doorway or load a container/trailer, what is the clearance?

3) Consider fuel options. Most governmental regulations forbid diesel operations indoors without a smog filter, are you equiped? Do you have access to alternatives such as LPG? Does electric fit the bill? All vital questions when making a buying decision for your used forklfit.

4) Forklifts come with many attachement opportunities. Considering if you need a sideshift, fork positioning, specific capture apparatus (paper roll, brick etc).
