Things to Consider Before Choosing a Mitsubishi Forklift
Before you start browsing forklifts, it’s worth taking a step back to consider a few key factors. This will help ensure you choose a model that’s ideally suited to your working environment and tasks.
1. What Will the Forklift Be Used For?
Start by thinking about your core application:
- Will it be used to unload deliveries?
- Are you moving stock within a warehouse?
- Do you need to handle long, heavy or awkward loads?
Different tasks require different specifications, and Mitsubishi forklifts are available in a wide variety of formats to match your needs.
2. What Environment Will It Be Operating In?
The size and layout of your workspace are key considerations. For narrow warehouse aisles, a compact electric model may be the ideal choice. If you’re working outdoors or on uneven ground, you’ll need a robust diesel or LPG model with high ground clearance and superior traction.
3. What Type of Surface Will It Be Used On?
Rough terrain forklifts are perfect for building sites or yards, while indoor electric models are ideal for smooth warehouse floors. At Jofson, we can advise on tyre types and suspension systems to match your typical terrain.
4. What Is the Typical Load Weight and Height?
You’ll want to ensure your forklift can safely lift the weight of your average load and reach the height required. Whether you’re stacking pallets, reaching mezzanine levels, or accessing high racking, we’ll help you find a Mitsubishi forklift with the right capacity and mast height.
5. Hire or Buy?
If you only need a forklift for a short-term project, hiring could be more economical. For long-term needs, buying might be a wiser investment. At Jofson, we offer flexible forklift hire in Manchester as well as competitive prices on new and used Mitsubishi forklifts for sale.
