Clark, one of the leading manufacturers of forklifts in the world, has roughly 350,000 operating units all over the world. Forklifts which are made by Clark are used at a variety of work places including food processing plants, large warehouse operations, retail places and grocery stores. A forklift is designed to move heavy or large things efficiently and easily from one location to another.
You could find used Clark forklifts for sale in different outlets. Prior to looking at the huge range of used Clark forklifts available, you must consider exactly what you would be utilizing it for. If you need a forklift on a daily basis as part of a bigger fleet, then it can be wise to spend more money on a newer model. Then again, if you would just be utilizing it periodically or on a short term basis, you can search for a more heavily used, older lift truck.
Newer models of Clark forklifts come on the used truck market usually because of the expiration of leases with companies that rent rather than buy lift trucks. These former lease trucks normally 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 can miss problems that an expert would catch. You also have to look at the safety levels and current state of repair of the used forklift, especially the mast and the brakes and its state of mobility. Good brakes are really important in forklifts since most forklift accidents are connected with braking problems.
