Advantage of a used forklift truck

A non new forklift also definitely has its advantages:

• Cost savings
• Direct delivery
• Longer lifespan of modern forklift truck
• Lower depreciation
• Environmentally friendly

Cost savings

The second-hand forklifts are considerably more economical than new models. This often results in significant cost savings and offers better value for money compared to buying a new model. As a result, you can often save a large amount of money while still getting a reliable and efficient machine.

Directly available

Used forklifts are often readily available, whereas the delivery time for new forklifts can sometimes be weeks or even months. This can be crucial when extra material handling capacity is needed quickly.

Long life

Modern forklifts are designed for a long service life and, even after several years of use, can still operate reliably and efficiently. A well-maintained used forklift truck can therefore provide valuable service for many years to come.

Lower depreciation

New forklifts lose significant value in the first few years after purchase. A used lift truck has already gone through this initial depreciation, resulting in a more stable value and a smaller loss in the event of resale.

Environmentally friendly

By choosing a used forklift truck, your business is contributing to sustainability. Reusing existing machines reduces the demand for new production, reducing your company's carbon footprint and contributing to a circular economy.

2nd hand forklifts from Still

Still was founded in 1920 in Germany and has since grown into a leading manufacturer of forklifts and material handling equipment.
Advantage second-hand Still forklift: Still forklifts are known for their reliability, advanced technology, and ergonomic design. They offer excellent performance in both light and heavy duty applications and are extremely user-friendly. Disadvantage: second-hand Still forklift: The price for new models can be relatively high, although this is less relevant with second-hand purchases.

Used forklifts from Linde

Linde, founded in 1904, is one of the oldest and most respected names in the forklift industry, with a strong focus on innovation and safety. Linde forklifts are known for their robust build quality and advanced technologies that increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs. Some models can be more complex to maintain due to their technological innovations.

Hyster forklifts

Hyster, founded in 1929 in the United States, has a long history of providing powerful and reliable forklifts for heavy-duty applications. Hyster lift trucks offer an excellent balance between power and durability, making them particularly suitable for demanding working environments. The initial cost may be higher, but the longevity and robustness typically offer a good investment.

Electric forklifts

Advantages of an electric forklift: these forklifts are environmentally friendly and produce no emissions, making them ideal for use indoors and in enclosed spaces. They are quiet in use and have lower operating costs due to fewer moving parts and maintenance.

Disadvantage electric forklifts: they have a limited range and need regular recharging. The battery may also require a significant initial investment.

Gasoline-powered forklifts

Advantages: petrol forklifts are more flexible in their use and can be refilled quickly. They offer a good balance between power and cost, and are often cheaper to buy than some other types. Disadvantages: They produce exhaust fumes and are therefore less suitable for use in confined spaces. They also require more regular maintenance and inspection of the fuel systems.

Gas-powered forklifts

Advantages: Gas powered forklifts offer a mix of the benefits of electric forklifts and the power of internal combustion engines. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and can be refuelled quickly, ensuring higher productivity. Cons: While they produce fewer emissions than petrol forklifts, they still produce some exhaust. They also require regular maintenance of the engine and gas systems.

What to consider when buying

In addition to your budget, make and drive, there are other relevant features of forklifts that may influence your choice and use of them, for example:

• Lifting capacity
• Lifting height
• Drive
• Travel height

Lifting capacity (capability)

The lifting capacity of a lift truck refers to the maximum weight the lift truck can safely lift. This ranges from a few hundred kilos to several tonnes, depending on the model. It is crucial to choose a forklift with sufficient lifting capacity for the loads you typically move.

Lifting height

The lifting height determines the maximum height at which the forklift can lift loads. This is an important feature, especially in warehouses with high racking. Lift heights can range from a few metres to more than 10 metres, so make sure the lift truck is suitable for your storage needs

Drive

The choice of drive train (electric, diesel or gas) affects the truck's performance and suitability for your specific working conditions: Electric: Quieter and more environmentally friendly, ideal for indoor use. Diesel: Powerful and suitable for heavy-duty and outdoor use. Gas: Offers a balance between electric and internal combustion engines, with quick refuelling options.

Drive-through height

The clearance height is the maximum height under which the forklift can travel, including any awkward racking and obstacles. This is important to check whether the forklift can navigate all aisles and doors in your warehouse without bumping or getting stuck.

Fun Facts

First forklift: The first forklift was invented in 1920 by Clark.
Speed: Some forklifts can travel up to 20 km/h.
Large Capacity: The heaviest forklifts can lift up to 50 tonnes.
Smart Technology:Modern forklifts have GPS and cameras for better safety and efficiency.
