Best Forklifts Companies

Any forklifts company can sell you a vehicle. The best forklifts companies are those that learn about your business before taking your money. They’ll find out how and where you plan to use your forklift, which applications you'll use it for, and how much you can afford to spend. Here’s how to locate companies that will look out for your best interests instead of their own.

To locate the best forklifts companies, start by submitting a free request for quotes through BuyerZone or by performing your own online research. Then, talk to at least 4 to 6 lift truck companies to become familiar with the products and services they offer and determine which one provides the best mix of quality, service, and cost.

Once you have a list of suppliers, have each of them send a forklift to your location for a test drive. You shouldn’t need to use it for long – 2-4 hours should be plenty of time to try out the vehicle in a familiar setting and test basic features. It’s also a good idea to have your typical forklift operators test it out for themselves.

You don’t necessarily need to test drive the vehicle on site to select the best forklift companies. If the company is located nearby, arrange to visit his office. This allows you to try the lift truck yourself, learn how the features work, and ask any questions you might have about performance. It’s also a good opportunity to see how their staff interacts with other customers and view their showroom and parts inventory.

Ultimately, the best lift truck companies are those that treat your business like a partner, learning what type of lift truck your company needs and finding you the appropriate match.
