Used

How do I know if a used forklift is right for my site?

Fit matters as much as condition. A forklift can be in decent shape and still be wrong for your operation if the aisles are tight, the lift height is wrong, or the surface is rough. We confirm your layout, load weights and duty cycle first, then match a unit that will work on your site.

Are forklift hours a reliable way to judge condition?

Not on their own. A 5,000-hour machine in a clean warehouse is often in better shape than a 1,500-hour machine used for heavy outdoor work in dust and heat. We prioritise mechanical integrity over the number on the dash.

What should I look for on a used electric forklift battery?

Battery age is one part. Charging habits and duty cycle matter just as much. We will talk through realistic run-time expectations for your operation, and whether lead-acid or lithium ion makes the most sense for how you work.

Can I lease a used forklift or spread the cost?

Often, yes. Lease options may be available, including finance and rent to own, depending on the unit and requirements. If flexibility is more important than ownership, we can also discuss hire and short to long term leasing options.

Do I need a licence to operate a forklift in WA?

Forklift operation is classed as high risk work and generally requires the appropriate high risk work licence through WorkSafe WA. If you are unsure what is required for your team, we can point you to the right licensing information.
