Used forklifts

To unload, load, and move goods safely and efficiently, you need more than just a well-functioning forklift; there are also different types of forklifts designed for various purposes that can make the job easier. Below, you can read more about the most common types of forklifts.

All forklifts have a load chart that shows how much weight the forklift can carry. It’s important to keep in mind, for example, that a forklift with a 2-ton capacity may have a lower capacity depending on how the load is lifted.

If a forklift has a 2-ton capacity, this is generally based on lifting a load 600 mm from the fork mountings. The 600 mm measurement is based on lifting from the center of an EU pallet, which is 1,200 mm long. If you lift a load with a center of gravity that is further out than 600 mm on the forks, you can use the load chart to see how the forklift’s capacity changes.

At Relevator, we conduct a thorough inspection of the forklifts’ most critical components before listing them for sale. The following components are inspected:

• The forklift's battery—we'll perform a simple capacity test.
• The forklift's hydraulics: we check that the forklift can lift its maximum load.
• Steering and brakes: We test the steering and brakes and report any irregularities.
• Tires: We’ll check them for any obvious damage or defects.

Would you like more information before making a purchase? We offer a comprehensive forklift inspection conducted in collaboration with certified technicians.

For each individual forklift, it is specified whether the forklift is covered by a warranty and the duration of the warranty.

A lead-acid battery can last for 6–8 hours of normal driving. If driving is very intense and involves heavy loads, the runtime may drop to 3–5 hours.

A Li-ion battery has roughly the same capacity but isn't affected as much by how hard or intensely you drive.
