Hi, I am looking to buy a forklift for my warehouse. However, I need some basic fundamental help in understanding how to go about it. I am not yet looking for buying recommendation but a basic guidance to get started
1. What are some of the imp factors to consider before buying forklift - upon online research I found lifting capacity, height, engine type as important things to consider. But is there anything else that is important?
2. Is finding forklift operator difficult in US? Do I need to 1st find an operator and buy forklift according to his comfort? Or are most operator comfortable with common brand and types of forklift?
