Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most frequently asked questions about forklifts.

What should I look for when buying a used forklift?
Group 3 Copy Group 3 Copy

When buying a used forklift, there are several important factors to consider:

  • Number of running hours: This gives an indication of the intensity of use of the lift truck. Fewer hours of operation often means less wear and tear.

  • Maintenance history: Always ask for the maintenance report or inspection records. Regular maintenance extends the service life considerably.

  • Type and capacity: Choose a forklift with a lifting capacity appropriate for the loads you want to move. The mast (e.g., duplex or triplex) and maximum lift height are also important.

  • Propulsion: Depending on your environment, choose electric, diesel or LPG. Indoor use calls for electric; outdoors, a used diesel forklift is often more powerful.

  • Tires: Full rubber, pneumatic or non-marking tires – the type of tire should match your surface.

  • Accessories: Think fork adjusters, sideshift, or special clamps. These increase the flexibility of your forklift.

Can I view or test drive the forklift before making a decision?
Group 3 Copy Group 3 Copy

Yes, you can. It is understandable that you want to see or test drive a used forklift first. At Machinehandel Jansen, you are welcome to view the machines on site and take a test drive. That way you can make the right choice with confidence.

What is the advantage of buying a used forklift?

  • Up to 50% cheaper than new models

  • Instantly available without long lead times

Even for smaller companies or temporary projects, a used forklift is a smart choice. You save money but can still count on reliability and professional ease of use.

Are used forklifts reliable?
Group 3 Copy Group 3 Copy

Yes, used forklifts are definitely reliable, provided they have been properly maintained and professionally inspected. A used forklift, depending on brand and build quality, can last for years to come. Especially brands like Linde, Hyster, Toyota and Jungheinrich are known for their solidity, even in used versions.

Is forklift certification required?
Group 3 Copy Group 3 Copy

In the Netherlands, a forklift certificate is not required by law, but it is highly recommended. Employers are required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act to ensure a safe working environment. This means that only employees who are demonstrably competent are allowed to drive a forklift. A valid forklift certificate is the most common way to demonstrate that competence.
