Clark, one of the leading makers of forklifts in the world, has approximately 350,000 working units all over the globe. Clark forklifts are utilized at different work places like huge warehouse applications, food processing factories, retail places and grocery stores. A forklift is meant to move big or heavy items easily and efficiently from one place to another.
You could find used Clark forklifts for sale in different outlets. Before looking at the vast range of used Clark forklifts available, you must consider exactly what you would be using it for. If you need a forklift on a daily basis as part of a larger fleet, then it can be wise to spend more money on a newer model. Then again, if you will just be using it periodically 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 often because of the expiration of leases with businesses which rent rather than purchase lift trucks. These former lease trucks usually cost 10 to 15 percent more than lift trucks being sold by the owner.
It pays to have an expert check the used forklift before any money changes hands. You might miss problems which someone who is a professional will catch. You also need to look at the current state of repair and safety levels of the used forklift, especially the mast and the brakes and its state of mobility. Good brakes are very essential in forklifts as most forklift accidents are associated with braking problems.
