The end of the year moves fast — budgets to use, decisions to make. At Bohl, we deliver peace of mind with fully inspected, dealer-verified equipment — even on a tight timeline.
When you buy a used forklift, the difference between a great deal and an expensive mistake comes down to one thing: the quality of the inspection.
At Bohl Equipment, every used truck on our lot has already gone through a rigorous, multi-point evaluation, so customers get true peace of mind and long-term value. Here’s what we verify before any forklift is listed for sale:
Key Areas We Inspect on Every Used Forklift
- 🚜Frame & Overhead Guard: No cracks, bends, or hidden welded repairs
- ️⬇️ ⬆️Mast Lift/Tilt Smoothness: Clean, consistent movement — never jerky
- ⛓️Fork Condition & Chain Wear: No bent forks; check for rust, chain stretch
- ⚙️Engine/Motor Health: No unusual noise, leaks, or sluggish starts
- 💧Hydraulic Leaks: Cylinders, hoses, and fittings inspected end-to-end
- 🛞Tires & Attachments: Correct tire type and full attachment compatibility
- 🚨Safety Systems: Brakes, horn, lights, backup alarm, and seatbelt all functioning
- 📋 Maintenance Records: Service history evaluated — because care matters more than hours
And of course, every unit must be reviewed to ensure it truly fits your application: capacity, mast type, fuel type, tires, attachments — every detail that matters for your operation.
Buying used can be an incredible value — when it’s inspected right.
We hope you keep this checklist in mind the next time you’re shopping, especially when you need to make a fast year-end decision.
