As one of the world's top forklift producers, Clark has over 350,000 units in operation internationally. Clark forklifts are used at different work sites including food processing plants, large warehouse operations, retail places and grocery stores. A forklift is intended to transport large or heavy items efficiently and easily from one location to another.
Used Clark forklifts could be found for sale in various outlets. Prior to looking at the vast range of used Clark forklifts available, you should consider exactly what you will be utilizing it for. If you need a forklift on a daily basis as part of a bigger fleet, then it can be wise to spend more money on a newer model. However, if you will only be using it sporadically or on a short term basis, you can search for an older, more heavily used lift truck.
Newer models of Clark forklifts come on the used truck market normally because of the expiration of leases with companies which rent rather than purchase lift trucks. These former lease trucks normally cost 10-15% more than lift trucks being sold by the owner.
Prior to buying any used forklift, it is better to have somebody who is a professional to check it first. You might miss problems which a professional would catch. You also have to look at the current state of repair and safety levels of the used forklift, especially the brakes and the mast and its state of mobility. Good brakes are very important in forklifts because nearly all forklift accidents are connected with braking problems.
