Considerations When Buying Used LPG Forklifts

Let's ensure you make the best choice for your operations. Consider these factors when selecting a used LPG forklift:

  • Thoroughly assess the engine's condition, ensuring it's well-maintained, and verify that the forklift meets current emission standards for your industry and location.
  • Choose tyres that match your terrain. Solid tyres offer puncture resistance, while pneumatic tyres provide cushioning on uneven surfaces.
  • Determine if specialised attachments, like side-shifts or fork extensions, are necessary to streamline your specific tasks.
  • Prioritise well-maintained forklifts, conducting a thorough inspection for signs of wear, leaks, or potential issues.

FAQs

Start with a visual inspection, looking for signs of leaks, damage, or excessive wear. Check the engine’s hours of usage, and ask for maintenance records, specifically regarding engine service. Listen to the engine while it’s running, noting any unusual noises or rough operation. Ideally, have a qualified technician assess the engine’s overall health and compression.

Factors affecting fuel efficiency include the engine’s age and technology, maintenance history, overall forklift condition, and operator habits. Inquire about the forklift’s typical fuel consumption rate. If comparing multiple models, research their specifications for potential differences in efficiency.

Verify that the forklift has all required safety certifications and complies with relevant Australian standards for emissions. The seller should provide documentation or evidence of this compliance. Inspect the forklift for safety features like lights, warning devices, seatbelts, and a properly secured LPG tank.

Regular maintenance is crucial for safe and efficient LPG forklift operation. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, engine tune-ups, tyre checks, hydraulic system inspections, and mast lubrication. Ask about the forklift’s maintenance history and be prepared to follow a routine maintenance schedule.

LPG tanks have a certification date and should be re-certified periodically for safety. Check the tank for visible damage, rust, or dents. Ask about the tank’s age and certification status. While a well-maintained tank can last many years, its remaining lifespan will influence the forklift’s overall value.

A well-documented service history provides valuable insights into a used forklift’s condition. Look for regular maintenance intervals, any major repairs or component replacements, and whether the work was performed by qualified technicians. A thorough service history increases confidence in the forklift’s reliability.

Start by researching comparable models to get an idea of fair market value. Factor in the forklift’s age, hours of usage, overall condition, LPG tank status, any included attachments, and the seller’s reputation. Be prepared to justify your offer based on these factors, and consider potential repair costs if the forklift isn’t in pristine condition.

While used LPG forklifts offer many advantages, it’s important to be aware of potential downsides. These may include higher maintenance needs than a new model, less advanced technology or features, potential difficulty sourcing parts for very old models, and the possibility of hidden wear or damage.

Carefully consider your specific requirements. Assess factors like load capacities, lift heights, necessary attachments, indoor vs. outdoor usage, terrain, and space constraints. Ensure the forklift’s size, power, fuel system, and features align with your daily tasks and environment for optimal performance.

Operating costs include fuel, maintenance, repairs, and potential downtime. Fuel prices can fluctuate, so factor in current LPG costs in your area. A well-maintained used LPG forklift can offer lower operating costs compared to new models, but it’s essential to budget for regular servicing and potential repairs as the forklift ages.

LPG forklifts require specific safety protocols due to the use of flammable fuel. Ensure proper ventilation in your operating area, conduct regular leak checks, and have fire extinguishers readily available. Familiarise yourself with refueling procedures and train operators in safe LPG handling.
