The Important Inspection Areas

Before you buy the truck, our advice to you is to inspect some areas.

•          You should inspect the overall lift truck condition
•          Check the lift cylinders and the motors for any signs of leaks
•          Check the breaks
•          The lift chains should stretch well if they are in good condition. Between the chain links, inserting a coin shouldn’t be possible
•          Check the fork trailings, the wheels and check every corner for any signs of repairs
•          You should find out the maintenance history of the forklift. Check the serial number, its manufacturing date, and operating hours. Whether you buy from us or any other dealer, it is highly important that you know the age of the forklift

Choose Certified Forklifts

Larger forklift companies often offer certified forklifts, usually used forklifts. This serves as a guarantee that the seller of the forklift only has good quality ones and it has passed through inspections. You should also check their repair and working history, which should include the working hours of the lift truck. You should also consider other aspects, where did the machine operate, was it outdoors or indoors.

Was the lift truck you are planning to buy a part of a previous fleet of rental machines? Consider where it was operating. Was it in cooler temperatures or ambient? Make sure the maintenance records are up to date. If it is an electric forklift, is the battery new or used? Check the life of the battery charger, is it new or old?
