Used and Refurbished Forklifts in South Africa

Used and refurbished forklifts account for a large portion of the forklift market in South Africa for good reason. Used forklifts often sell for thousands of Rands less than new forklifts. Refurbished forklifts usually have all the features and advantages of a new forklift and are much easier on the pocket.

It’s always a good idea to investigate used forklifts before you literally ‘fork out’ for a new one. As with a second-hand car, a refurbished forklift can be in a state of disrepair, and can often wind up costing you a lot more in the long run than buying a new one.

What to look for when buying a Refurbished Forklift in South Africa

Find forklift dealers that offer ‘better than new’ guarantees. This will provide affirmation that the refurbished forklift is in good condition
It is very possible to find refurbished forklifts in South Africa that offer more extensive coverage than warranties covering new forklifts
Be careful of buying a used or refurbished forklift over the Internet. Internet purchases are riskier as in many cases you won’t get to examine the forklift before buying it as they’ve been extensively improved before they are resold.

Many forklift dealers in South Africa that sell new forklifts also sell used or refurbished forklifts – enquire about trade-in with these kinds of companies. Some forklift companies in South Africa make it their business to specialize in used and refurbished forklifts. They buy used forklifts, give them an overhaul or reconditioning, and then resell them for a competitive price. You can get very lucky with these types of forklifts

Used and refurbished forklifts can be a great deal if you have budget constraints. They often come with better warranties than new forklifts and are in just as good operating order.
