There’s a great deal of information about what you should do when in your search for the best forklift for your unique operations. But have you ever wondered why somebody didn’t warn you when you were about to make a misstep you can’t get back?
Here are some common mistakes many first-time forklift buyers make.
- Avoiding Capital Costs: Don’t be tempted to buy the cheapest forklift that meets your minimum capacity requirements. There are many other important factors to consider before buying a forklift, and up front price is only one of them.
- Get Customers Feedback: Once you’ve decided the make and model of the forklift you want, rent one to try it out in your actual work conditions. Make sure your operator has input, too. They will be the one driving it all day.
- Buy from Authorized Distributors Only: Buy your forklift from a reputable dealer who can perform emergency and general maintenance when you need it. Otherwise, you risk considerable downtime if your forklift breaks down.
- The total cost of ownership is a must: Spending a little more up front can be an investment down the road, especially if your operations can become more efficient and productive over time.
- Watch for Service Setup: Getting on a maintenance plan helps catch problems early to reduce downtime and keeps your operators safe with regular inspections. Maintenance plans can also help increase the life of a forklift.
