Tips for Choosing the Right Forklift
Choosing the wrong forklift can set you back in terms of productivity. Consider these factors before you make a decision:
How often will you be loading the forklift?
If your shipping department is constantly loading trailers, a stand-up end-control forklift may be the best option. These lift trucks have capacities from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, can easily fit into standard trailer doors, and have masts that allow for stacking if needed. If you are loading only a few semi-trailers or box trucks a week, consider using an electric walkie or walkie end-rider.
How much space do you have to work with?
Some warehouses have plenty of room for operators to maneuver around in. Others are filled to capacity and allow little space for operating larger equipment. This may call for a three-wheel electric forklift to perform better in tighter turning radius areas. If you have lots of space, choose the three or four-wheel forklift your operator prefers. If lifting more than 4,000 pounds, you will need a four-wheel model.
What are the operator’s duties?
It’s important to consider the duties of each operator when choosing a forklift. Drivers who are constantly getting on and off the lift trucks can easily become fatigued. Consider a stand-up option for easy access. If they are on their machines for 7 or 8 hours a day, you may prefer to choose a sit-down counterbalance forklift that will be more comfortable and improve their efficiency during the workday.
New or used?
If the forklifts will be used for four or more hours per day – a leased or new forklift is the best option. In this case, the type of forklift and your budget will help you decide. If they will not used every day, and then only for an hour or two, consider a high-quality used forklift.
