Used Reach Trucks

There are many situations where purchasing used reach trucks is more practical than buying units that are brand new. For instance, if you only need to use a reach truck for a short period of time several days a week then a used reach truck will be able to meet your needs. Purchasing a new reach truck is only imperative if you will be using the machine every day and for long shifts.

Choosing a Used Reach Truck

  • Find out how old the reach truck is. If you will be using only one reach truck for your operation then it might not be a good idea to get an extremely old unit. Very old reach trucks are more prone to breaking down. Since you will not have a spare unit, a broken reach truck will put your entire operation on hold.
  • Find out how many hours are on the truck. It’s generally best to choose a used reach truck that has fewer hours since it will be in better condition.
  • Find out how well the truck has been maintained. When purchasing a used reach truck, you will naturally want to choose one that has been properly maintained. You can do this by checking the truck’s maintenance records and having a trusted mechanic inspect the unit.

Where to Buy a Used Reach Truck

  • Internet. Buying a used reach truck online is quite risky since you won’t be able to physically inspect the unit or take it for a test ride.
  • Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Even if you have chosen to buy from the OEM, you will still need to practice caution since there are some OEM dealers that will provide customers with false ages of the units. There are even some that will manipulate the metre to make it appear as though the machine has fewer hours on it.
