Daewoo Forklifts Arlington

There are several steps involved in purchasing a used or new forklift truck. Think about the following items before choosing.



Step 1: What exactly are your requirements?

Think about the types of loads you would be lifting and how heavy they usually are. Think about the maximum lifting height which you would need. Find out whether you would be using the forklift indoors or outdoors, or both. Measure the width of your narrowest aisles and estimate how much maneuvering space there is. What would be the duration of use every day in terms of hours?



Step 2: Is a used forklift your best choice?

Buying a used forklift is a good idea if you would just use it four hours the most a day.



Step 3: Fuel options

Since electric forklifts are relatively quiet and make no exhaust emissions, they are recommended for indoor use. They have big batteries which could last eight hours before you have to recharge it. The cost of buying electric forklifts is higher, but the costs of operation are lower. On the plus side, they do not need fuel storage area. They also tend to last longer because they have less moving components. On the other hand, the time it takes to recharge the battery must be taken into consideration. This could take up to 16 hours, including recharging and cooling. And battery recharging stations might be required.



Step 4: Tire choice

Forklifts have cushion tires. There are several options when it comes to tires. Several are made of solid rubber, a few are inflated, and several combine qualities of both - solid pneumatic tires. For indoor use, cushion tires are suggested. For outdoor use, pneumatic tires are best. Solid pneumatic tires are less likely to be punctured by rough terrain or sharp objects so they are the best choice for risky conditions.



Step 5: Think about additional options

When purchasing a new or used forklift truck, think about additional alternatives. Look at the various kinds of attachments that you might require to customize your forklift. Check out the forklift's safety features and ergonomics



Step 6: Evaluate your alternatives

It is a good idea to rent various brands and models and know what suits your needs the best. A good dealer will agree to help you with this. This will guarantee that the type of forklift you ultimately buy is the right one for your needs. Be certain to consult with your dealer.
