Before we get started on your free quotes, you’ll need to tell us the lift height and load capacity you need. If you operate inside, find the ideal lift height by adding six inches to your tallest rack shelving. If you operate outside, use your discretion.
When it comes to load capacity, consider your typical load weight and applications. Remember that load capacity varies with load center, so keep typical load shape and size in mind.
Before comparing new or used forklifts for sale in Los Angeles, you’ll also need to determine what forklift fuel type you need. Pick a fuel type based on your location and applications. Popular fuel types include propane, diesel, and gasoline.
Propane forklifts are the quickest to refuel. They can be used both indoors and outdoors. Diesel and gas forklifts are typically only used outside. Diesel options offer more torque, while gas options are faster.
If none of these seem like the right fit, you may want to consider an electric forklift. Electric forklifts operate on a rechargeable battery, rather than fuel. They offer zero emissions and eliminate fuel costs. They’re also cheaper to maintain than internal combustion lifts.
