Why take our word for it. Let’s look at other places besides a used forklift Illinois dealership you might go to:
You could look at the auctions that are held in various cities in Central Illinois. There will be a lot of competition, but if you’re lucky, you may end up with a very good forklift for a very cheap price. More than likely, though, you won’t end up saving much money over what you would be paying a private party and you won’t know for sure whether or not you got a good deal or a lemon until you’ve used the lift truck for awhile.
If you look on line, you will probably be able to find many private enterprises are trying to sell used forklifts in Illinois. There are two reasons why they would be selling their forklifts: either they are worn out and need replacing or the company is in financial trouble. Obviously, you don’t want to pay good money for a forklift that someone else is selling because it is nearly beyond repair or needs such extensive repairs it is not worth hanging onto. If the company is in financial trouble, would they have been maintaining their equipment as they should have over the past few years? Not likely.
