Forklift Demo Questions

Do the operators like the forklift?

A forklift demo lets operators become a part of the buying process. An operator that uses the forklift during a shift can provide valuable feedback on visibility and maneuverability. Plus, rider comfort typically increases productivity and safety.

Why is there a price difference?

On their own, quotes may not show the reasons why a forklift’s initial cost is higher. Besides highlighting unique features, a forklift demo explains how the value of the forklift is determined over its life cycle. Advances in technology also bring options that were not available during your last purchase.

Do I have the right forklift?

A forklift demo answers the concern of having the right type of equipment for your application, especially if you plan to use a different type of forklift. For example, you may learn your process is not ready for a fuel switch from LP to electric or the planned option isn’t used by operators. Typically a forklift demo is two days. If you have a large fleet, consider renting a similar forklift for (30) days, which allows more operators to use the equipment.
