Desk notes
Read this before you wire anyone.
Prices, inspections, fuel, hours, and the OSHA rules a new owner actually has to meet. Written for buyers and sellers. The request is still free.
Capacity
Forklift capacity plates, attachments, and derating
The plate on the truck today is the capacity. The brochure from the year it was built is not.
Selling
How to sell a used forklift for a real price
A screen from the book, four honest photos, and the right to refuse every bid.
Money
Financing or leasing a used forklift
Own it, lease it, or pay the yard in cash. The desk will not invent a rate.
OSHA
OSHA 1910.178 basics for a new forklift owner
Training, the daily exam, and the rules that apply the morning the truck arrives.
Hours
What forklift hours really mean on a used truck
Hours are a clue. The mast, the battery, and the service record finish the sentence.
Fuel
Electric, LPG, or diesel: how to choose a used forklift
Match the fuel to the floor and the air, then read the price band for that class.
Inspection
Used forklift inspection checklist before you buy
What to photograph and what to refuse before you spend a day driving to a yard.
Price book
Used forklift prices by class, capacity, and hours
The bands on the price book, class by class, and what actually moves a used forklift inside them.
