A forklift in line with the company values

The right forklift without compromising on maneuverability

When Återbruksbyrån in Gothenburg grew their business , it became clear that the warehouse needed to operate more efficiently. More products were coming in, flows increased, and the work became more complex. At the same time, one thing was certain: they didn’t want to buy new equipment unnecessarily. As a player in the reuse of building materials, circularity is a natural part of every decision. That’s why they were looking for a solution that both worked in day-to-day operations and aligned with their way of working.

Together with Relevator, they found just what they were looking for: a used forklift that met their needs without requiring too large an investment.

A clear need for a smarter solution

For Återbruksbyrån, it wasn’t about finding the most advanced forklift. It was about finding the right balance. The products in the warehouse vary, and flexibility is required in how they are handled. At the same time, the solution needed to be cost-effective and practical for day-to-day operations. In many similar warehouses, four-way forklifts are used when handling long or bulky items in tight spaces. This not only makes the work smoother but also more efficient. Here, a used forklift was the obvious choice. It provided the right functionality without requiring an unnecessarily large investment.

When is a four-way forklift used?

A four-way forklift is used in warehouses where long or bulky products are handled and where space is limited. Unlike other forklifts, it can travel in multiple directions without having to turn around. This makes work easier in narrow aisles and reduces the need for large floor space.

Four-way forklifts are commonly used in construction, the wood industry, and other sectors where products do not always conform to a specific standard and can be bulky. They are simply well-suited for environments that handle items of varying sizes.

A used four-way forklift was a good fit for the business

Together with Relevator, Återbruksbyrån found a used forklift that met their needs. It was a solution that fit right into their operations.

For many companies, a used four-way forklift is a good option when the need is clear but not significant enough to justify buying a new one.

Circularity in Practice

For Återbruksbyrån, circularity isn’t just about what they sell—it’s also about how they run their business. Choosing a used forklift instead of a new one was a natural step, just as furnishing their office with repurposed furniture was. This reduces resource consumption and makes the investment more sustainable both economically and environmentally. With support from Relevator, they were able to find a solution that worked at every stage.
