Buying a second hand forklift truck, you will want to make sure that the machine is reliable and maintained well. Do your research and follow these tips:
- Always ensure the machine is delivered with a "TE" (Thorough Examination) certificate.
- Make sure the certificate has a hologram on the front, this confirms to the buyer the machine has been inspected to guidelines drawn up by the HSE, and should give peace of mind to the buyer.
- Ask for at least three references
- Ask to see records of the trucks history
- View several forklift trucks if possible, to get a good idea of what a good example is and what one that has had a hard life looks like.
