At Machinehandel Jansen, we carry a wide selection used forklifts for sale. When buying a used forklift, it’s important that the machine can handle the loads you want to move, reach the desired lift height, and fit within the space where you work.
Our selection includes various types of used forklifts, such as RORO forklifts, side loaders, rough-terrain forklifts, and container stackers. Each type of used forklift has its own characteristics and is useful for different applications. The choice between a used diesel forklift, an electric forklift, or an LPG forklift also plays an important role in this decision.
A forklift is used for a variety of tasks, such as moving pallets in a warehouse or loading and unloading heavy goods in an outdoor area. That’s why the largest or most powerful used forklift isn’t always automatically the best choice. Choosing the right machine depends on a combination of lifting capacity, lift height, maneuverability, drive type, and the conditions in which the forklift will be used.
As the name suggests, rough-terrain forklifts are made for uneven terrain. With strong tires and four-wheel drive, this forklift can be used off-road. This powerhouse can lift heavy loads even on uneven surfaces. A powerhouse for any kind of terrain.
Container stackers offer a solution for stacking shipping containers. They are equipped with specific grippers and clamps suitable for lifting shipping containers. Indispensable in ports and transshipment areas.
Side loader forklifts are designed to lift a load from the side, this keeps the forklift narrow and allows it to easily pass through narrow aisles. They are suitable for various industries and perfect for transporting long and bulky materials such as beams, pipes and profiles.
A wide range of used and new machines can always be found at our location. With over 40 years of experience, we can deliver your the machines to your own requirements. Because of our wide range of products, you can come to us for all types of machines.
RORO, which stands for Roll-on Roll-off, means the machine can efficiently load and unload onto ships and trucks. They are equipped to move heavy cargo, such as vehicles with tires or tracks. With powerful engines and advanced stability systems, they can maneuver safely and accurately even on uneven surfaces.
When buying a used forklift, you shouldn’t base your decision solely on the brand, year of manufacture, or price. Above all, the way you plan to use the machine determines which forklift is right for you. A forklift for a warehouse is very different from one that will be used every day on a construction site.
When comparing used forklifts, keep the following points in mind:
A low-cost used forklift isn’t necessarily the most cost-effective choice. If the used forklift isn’t suitable for your operations, it can actually lead to additional wear and tear or lower productivity.
When comparing used forklifts, lifting capacity, lifting height, and turning radius are therefore important features. The specifications you need depend on the loads you’re moving, the height at which you’re moving them, and the space in which you’re operating the forklift.
Lifting capacity refers to the amount of weight a forklift can lift under certain conditions. The lifting capacity you need depends on the weight and dimensions of the loads you need to move. The load’s center of gravity and the lifting height also affect what a forklift is capable of.
The lift height determines how high you can lift a load with the forklift. For example, if you work with warehouse racking, the lift height must match the height of the racks. The height of the mast when retracted also plays an important role. The forklift must be able to pass through doors, gates, and other openings. When choosing a used forklift, you should therefore consider not only the maximum lift height but also your own business location.
A forklift’s turning radius determines how much space it requires. This is particularly important to keep in mind in warehouses or workshops. A compact used forklift with a small turning radius is more practical in a small space than a large forklift with high lifting capacity. Be aware of the width of aisles and passageways to ensure the forklift has enough room.
When buying a used forklift, the machine’s technical condition is, of course, also important. At Machinehandel Jansen, we inspect the forks, mast, lift chains, hydraulics, tires, brakes, and steering system. We also check for any leaks, wear, and play.
A suitable used forklift combines sufficient lifting capacity, the right lifting height, and good mechanical condition.
