If you're in the market for a pre-owned forklift, there are untold numbers of used forklifts available in Milwaukee and throughout the Midwest. Acquiring gently used fork trucks can be a great decision and it could save you some money. If you are not quite sure about buying used forklifts, here are a few of the benefits:
Used Forklifts in Milwaukee
When acquiring new forklifts, financing arrangement and vehicle delivery can take time. One benefit of used forklift sales is that they are usually close by, often close pretty rapidly and you can take delivery sooner.
Pre-Owned Forklift Pricing
Just like purchasing a used vehicle, you’ll spend less when you buy pre-owned lift trucks. A used forklift price discount depends heavily on the truck variety and lift truck brand, but you’ll generally pay substantially less for used fork trucks. When you find a used lift truck for sale, it’s a good idea to check pricing on at least two comparable forklifts in your city to ensure that you’re being offered a fair deal.
Used Forklift Values
Your budget may limit what you can afford to buy new, but buying used may allow you to buy a better lift truck than you could otherwise afford. Pre-owned lift truck prices for recent models that are very similar to the newest available can be greatly discounted, meaning you can get state of the art equipment for quite a bit less than the cost of buying brand new equipment.
Used Forklift Dealers
When purchasing from a pre-owned lift truck dealer that acts as a distributor, you can get dealer certified, pre-owned forklifts that are almost on par with purchasing brand new. These used forklifts are fully inspected, cleaned and overhauled by fully qualified specialists and they frequently come with a warranty.
Buying from a dealer may additionally allow you access to their financing, service contracts, parts delivery and other things that aren’t an option with a private party purchase.
Other Considerations
Since you’re now fully informed on many of the advantages of buying used forklifts, you may want to evaluate a few extra factors to see if a used lift truck strategy is appropriate for you:
- Equipment Hours of Use : how much will you be using your forklifts? If your fork trucks will be in use all day, every day, it could likely be more advantageous to lease your lift trucks or buy them new, despite the fact you’ll pay more up front. Heavy utilization scenarios are better suited to new forklifts, or trucks that you’re not ultimately responsible for maintaining.
- Service Ability : do you have in-house resources that can service your used lift trucks? When you have a technician on payroll that can maintain and repair used lift trucks, it can be very economical to go the pre-owned route. If you don’t, you may want to sign up for a maintenance contract.
- Trustworthy Used Forklift Dealers : purchasing from a trustworthy, knowledgeable dealership is always wise. Authorized sellers will often sell off-lease forklifts that have been regularly and appropriately serviced. Private sales, in contrast, are almost always a risk—you have no way of knowing the true background of the equipment or how it was serviced.
- Forklift Safety : any time you’re buying a used forklift, you should always be conscious of safety as your leading concern. For every transaction you should order a used forklift inspection from an authorized technician.
- Pre-owned Lift Truck Warranty : pre-owned lift trucks bought from dealerships many times come with a temporary warranty. In the event you can secure an extra warranty or maintenance agreement, you may want to evaluate the extra expense vs the cost of procuring brand new forklifts.
