Forklifts are the livelihood of any business that involves dealing with heavy goods and cargo. Moving heavy goods from one place to another, managing a store and storage becomes a lot easier with a reliable forklift in action. If you need more than one forklift, it does not make sense to buy it at retail price. Wholesale prices aid businesses by saving much capital.

Sometimes, we see customers, who have little idea about forklift models and specifications. Most of them just need wholesale forklifts, but they do not know why. Here are a few questions you need to ask yourself and your manager if you are out to shop for a forklift –

  1. What is the weight you will be lifting with it?
  2. How high do you need the machine to lift?
  3. Where will you be using it?
  4. How long will you use it per day?
  5. How will you power the machine? Do you prefer diesel or electricity?
  6. Do you have a budget for your buy?

Factors that govern forklift purchases

Before buying forklifts in wholesale, you need to know a few factors that will affect your buy.

  1. Load capacity: Even the heaviest of the forklifts have an upper limit of weight they can liftthis is its load capacity. The load should not exceed a forklift’s load capacity. Before you confirm your buy, evaluate the weight of the standard cargo you move around.
  2. Height capacity: the highest point, which the forklift can reach with the load on. If you move the load higher up, it will shift the center of gravity. This will cause the forklift to topple over. Commonly, the higher your forklift goes, the lesser it should lift.
  3. Surface considerations: you can find outdoor forklifts that can grip well on slippery, wet floor. There are accurate terrain models that are suitable for different spaces either inside or outside. They have different tires and suspensions that makes them stable in certain environments only.
  4. Engine type: electric and internal combustion are the two most common types of engines. Propane or gas powers the internal combustion engines. Others can run on diesel too. Most indoor ones run on lead-acid batteries and periodic charging.
  5. Uses: forklifts may only lift weights, but the kind of weight also matters. You can load cargo at the docks or move building materials on construction sites or move delicate toiletries or food jars at departmental stores. Each task requires a specific kind of forklift.
