Used forklift Equipment

Buying used equipment can save you enough in advance - but even a forklift used remains a major expense. A reconditioned 3000 lb electric lift truck could go for about $ 8000 to $ 10,000, less than half the cost of a new one. A 5000 pounds IC forklift that cost $ 25,000 new could cost $ 10,000 or $ 11,000 refurbished.

Remember, if you are using your forklift more than four hours a day, you can quickly find that the costs of downtime and repairs quickly cancel the savings from the purchase of a used forklift.
