As with any machinery, the lifespan of diesel forklift trucks will vary wildly depending on how you use it and whether you stick to a regular, proper maintenance schedule. Using your forklift within the optimal operational parameters outlined in its manual and ensuring regular servicing will help it last longer. The average lifespan of a forklift will also depend on the forklift itself and depending on the manufacturer, you can expect from 10,000 to upwards of 20,000 hours.

Our forklifts are easier to maintain than most as they are built with usability in mind and without unnecessary expensive computers or complicated electronics.

For your safety and the safety of those around you, you should conduct a routine check every day, before using your forklift.

Forklift maintenance is a regular service where your forklift is inspected for wear and tear, preventative repairs are carried out and cleaning is conducted as necessary, based on that inspection.

The best thing to do is to refer to your forklift’s operation manual for manufacturer’s own recommendations.

You should be well aware of the weight of the load you are attempting to move using a forklift. The machine itself is fitted with a load capacity data plate which as a licenced forklift truck operator you can refer to for information on forklift’s load capacity at different mast heights, load centres and mast angles.

As the regulations can vary wildly from state to state and territory, please make sure to check with your local regulating body for the most accurate rules and how they apply to you.

According to worksafe.qld.gov.au, a passenger must never be carried on the forks or the load. Additionally, you must not carry passengers unless the forklift is designed to carry more than one person – an additional seat, footrest and seatbelt are provided. Always check your local state or territory rules, laws, and regulations for the most up to date information.

This depends on the forklift itself, our WeCan 3000Kg Terrain Forklift with a 3 stage container mast is an all-terrain forklift perfect for farmers, primary producers and construction crews operating on rougher than typical terrain.

A brand new forklift is by default going to be in a better shape than a used one. No previous wear and tear means that you will get a longer operational lifespan out of your new forklift than what you could get from a used one even with an impeccable servicing and maintenance schedule.

Our forklifts are designed with ease of use in mind, do not include unnecessary electronic parts or confusing computer equipment, making them as easy to get used as is possible.

This will be different from a forklift to a forklift, depending on make, model and how well you look after the machine itself. Our forklift for sale range includes machines designed with reliability, simplicity and ease of maintenance in mind – without expensive on-board computers or complicated electronics – bringing the costs of owning and maintaining your forklift.

An owned forklift is yours to use whenever you need it, making availability a non-issue. Buying to own is a good way to ensure you are never stuck without this essential piece of equipment.
