Key Buying Considerations


1. Match the Machine to Your Application


Rough terrain forklift: Vertical lifting on uneven ground, lumber yards, construction sites


Telehandler: Extended reach, placing loads at height, multi-story construction


Truck-mounted: Delivery operations, job-site mobility


2. Check Key Specifications


Lift capacity: Must exceed your maximum load weight with a safety margin


Lift height: Must reach your highest stacking or placement point


Terrain capability: 4WD and ground clearance for challenging sites


3. New vs. Used


New: Full warranty, latest technology (lithium-ion, emissions compliance), predictable costs


Used: Significant savings (often 30–50% less) but requires thorough inspection of tires, engine, hydraulics, and maintenance records


4. Consider Total Cost of Ownership


Diesel: Lower upfront cost but higher fuel and maintenance costs


Electric (lithium-ion): Higher upfront cost but zero emissions, lower energy costs, reduced maintenance, fast opportunity charging


5. Verify Emissions Compliance


Diesel models must meet EPA Tier 4 standards (US) or Stage V (EU)


Electric models are zero-emission and increasingly preferred for emission-sensitive sites


6. Shipping and Logistics


Used specialized heavy equipment transportation service


Ensure the forklift is properly secured for transport
