Which forklift type fits your operation?

How should businesses compare forklift equipment?

Start with the heaviest load and required placement height, then document load dimensions, clear aisle width, doorway restrictions and operating surface. Electric forklifts often serve clean indoor applications. Propane and diesel forklifts can support docks, yards and longer industrial duty cycles. Reach trucks and order pickers are designed around warehouse storage, while rough-terrain forklifts and telehandlers address outdoor access and jobsite placement.

Can forklift equipment be purchased, rented or financed?

New forklift sales, used forklift sourcing, short- and long-term rentals and equipment financing may be available depending on the equipment type, location and timing. A complete request allows current options to be compared around the same operational requirements.
