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?

Used forklift dealers often lump all of their used equipment into one category. At G&W, we offer three options for buying pre-owned lift trucks, enabling you to find a dependable option at the right price point.
