How G&W Certifies Used Forklifts
If you’re in the market for a forklift, a used forklift could be the right fit. But can you buy used equipment with confidence? How can you be assured you’re getting a reliable used lift truck that won’t cause downtime or unnecessary hassles?
When buying a pre-owned forklift, you need to trust your dealer and know their process for certifying used equipment. Finding used forklifts for sale is relatively easy, but finding a dealer who knows how to certify used equipment is an important distinction to make.
At G&W, all our used equipment receives a thorough inspection. All of our pre-owned equipment comes with a carriage-to-counterweight warranty.
How does G&W certify used forklifts?
We have a process we follow to ensure every used forklift we sell will offer reliable performance and keep your business moving.
For every single piece of used equipment, we promise:
- Full PM service and complete inspection
- Electric lifts are all equalized and the industrial batteries are tested
- All safety equipment is confirmed to be operating properly
- We’ve performed any needed mechanical or operational repairs
- The entire lift is steam cleaned, as well as the engine or battery compartment
- All information and safety decals are in place and legible
- Engine oil, oil filter and air filter are changed on internal combustion trucks
What type of used forklifts does G&W offer?
