When the time comes, whether you’re buying new or used, you’ll want to make sure you’re purchasing the right forklift to meet your needs.

• Has the equipment we’ve been using met our needs and expectations?
• Will anything be changing in terms of forklift hours or workload?
• Is company expansion in the works?
• Have we been happy with our current brand, and how does it stack up to other brands in terms of reputation?
• What kind of training and service have we been receiving, and is it sufficient to meet our needs?
• Is our current materials handling operation efficient, and will it meet our needs in the future?
• Would different equipment help us operate more effectively?
• How does the cost per hour of our equipment compare with competing brands?
• Are we getting the best value and service from our supplier?
