What To Ask When Shopping for a Forklift

During operation, a forklift undergoes huge amounts of stress from the lifting and moving of heavy loads and the stacking and de-stacking of goods. It is important when shopping for a forklift that you get one that meets the highest quality standards possible. Working with a forklift dealer will assist you in determining what material handling equipment will be best suited for your application.

You will want to ask questions such as:

• The lift truck’s lifting capacity
• The power source
• The type of tires
• The overall size
• Any special attachments

Choosing the most productive forklift for your application is an investment that will be sure to pay off.
