What to look for in a used forklift
- Capacity at your load centre. Match the rated capacity to your heaviest load, with headroom. Attachments such as a clamp or fork positioner reduce the usable capacity.
- Mast type and lift height. A container mast has a lower closed height for working in and out of shipping containers. A standard mast suits open warehouses and yards. Check the lift height against your top racking beam.
- LPG or electric. LPG suits yards, docks and mixed indoor–outdoor work. Electric is quiet with no exhaust at the point of use, so it suits indoor warehouses. Reach trucks are for narrow aisles and high racking.
- Hours and service history. Ask for the hour meter reading and what has been serviced or replaced.
- Tyres, forks, chains and mast. Look for worn tyres, cracked or bent forks, stretched chains, mast play and hydraulic leaks.
- Battery condition (electric). The battery is a large part of an electric forklift’s value. Ask about its age and condition.
- Who stands behind it. A warranty and a local service team matter more than the cheapest sticker price.
