The Age

The first step in buying a used forklift is considering the machine’s age. If you want to save money, we suggest looking at equipment that is at least five years old so depreciation has played a significant role.

When looking at pre-owned models, it’s important to understand both the equipment’s key hours and usage hours. Many models will track both of these on the dash. Key hours are tracked when the key is turned on. This includes idle time. This may not be the best representation of the forklift’s usage. That’s why you should pay closer attention to the usage hours.

Usage hours will play a large role in determining whether or not you should consider a certain used model. In general, the usage hours will be based on the operator and the actions. This includes driving, lifting, and using the pump, for example. Depending on the model, the operator’s influence can be calculated when the pedal is pressed down or within the seat switch is activated.

Like a car’s mileage, a used forklift’s hours can indicate wear and tear. The more hours on the machine, the more likely there will be issues with the motor.

The Condition

Next, it’s time to inspect the equipment. You can even have a professional take a look at the machine.

You should inspect the used machine’s:

Forks for damage like cracks
Lift chains for large gaps between links
Mast for smooth operation
Tires for cracks and the tread depth
Hoses for leaks and wear
