How do Used Forklifts Compare to New Forklifts? Should you Consider Forklift Rentals?

Ever felt lost in the labyrinth of forklift options? New models boast the latest technology but can drain your wallet. Used forklifts are easier on the budget, but there’s always that lingering worry about reliability. At Total Warehouse, we understand this confusion. That’s why we’ve become a trusted name in the industry by offering a comprehensive solution: New, Used, and Rental forklifts – all designed to address your specific needs.

New Forklifts: The Cutting-Edge Choice

Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a brand-new forklift – smooth operation, advanced safety features, and the undeniable shine of a pristine machine. Here at Total Warehouse, we carry a wide range of new forklifts from industry leaders like Linde, Big Joe, and other popular manufacturers. These models boast the latest technology, which can translate to

✅Lower fuel consumption

✅Enhanced productivity through features like ergonomic design and faster lifting speeds

✅Safer work environment with advanced stability control systems and automatic braking.

✅Plus, you’ll benefit from a manufacturer’s warranty, providing peace of mind for unforeseen repairs.

✅However, new forklifts come with a steeper price tag and the learning curve associated with cutting-edge technology might necessitate additional training for operators and maintenance crews.

💡PRO TIP: If you are in the market for a new forklift and need training, however, you’ll be glad to know that Total Warehouse offers a comprehensive training program to help you and your team seamlessly integrate your new machines into your workflow!

Used Forklifts: The Value-Driven Workhorse

Pre-owned forklifts offer a compelling budget-friendly alternative. When sourced from a reputable dealer like Total Warehouse, a well-maintained used model can be a powerful and cost-effective solution. We have a massive selection of pre-owned models that our expert mechanics have meticulously inspected and maintained. This means you can save a significant chunk of change compared to buying new, all while getting a dependable machine that can handle the daily grind of your warehouse.

💡THE BONUS: Total Warehouse also offers servicing bundles when you purchase new or used forklifts. And because unexpected repairs are a fact of life, you can rest assured that our team of expert technicians is just a phone call away. They can get your forklift back up and running quickly, minimizing downtime and keeping your operation on schedule.

Renting the Perfect Fit: Flexibility for Short-Term Needs

Maybe you only need a forklift for a seasonal rush or a specific project, or you’re unsure which type would work best for your specific needs. At Total Warehouse, we understand that flexibility is key. Renting eliminates the upfront investment of buying and allows you to scale your forklift use to perfectly match your project requirements. Whether you need an electric forklift for quiet indoor operation or a rugged propane forklift for outdoor use, our extensive rental fleet has you covered.

Leasing is another option that provides even more flexibility, spreading out the cost and making it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes.
