Clark, one of the leading makers of forklifts within the world, has roughly 350,000 operating units all over the globe. Clark forklifts are used at a variety of work places including huge warehouse applications, food processing factories, grocery stores and retail places. A forklift is intended to transport large or heavy things easily and efficiently from one location to another.
You can find used Clark forklifts for sale in different outlets. Before looking at the huge range of used Clark forklifts available, you must consider exactly what you will be using it for. If you need a forklift every day as part of a larger fleet, then it could be wise to spend more money on a newer model. However, if you would only be utilizing it on a short term basis or sporadically, you could search for a more heavily used, older lift truck.
Newer models of Clark forklifts come on the used truck market usually due to the expiration of leases with businesses that rent rather than buy lift trucks. These former lease trucks generally cost 10 to 15 percent more than lift trucks being sold by the owner.
Before buying any used forklift, it is better to have someone who is a professional to check it first. You might miss problems that somebody who is a professional will catch. You should also look at the current state of repair and safety levels of the used forklift, particularly the mast and the brakes and its state of mobility. Good brakes are really vital in forklifts because nearly all forklift accidents are associated with braking issues.
