Jungheinrich has opened seven specialist used forklift showrooms throughout the UK.

The showrooms are located alongside the company's existing regional facilities at Warrington, Sheffield, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, Bristol, Llanelli and Cumbernauld and stock an extensive collection of products from Jungheinrich's Ready To Go range.

Neil Warren, Jungheinrich UK Ltd's used equipment and short-term rental director, says while it will depend on the specification, a used truck will cost, on average, about 60% of the selling price of an equivalent new model.

All used forklifts in the Ready To Go collection have been rebuilt at Jungheinrich Group's specialist used truck refurbishment centre in Dresden, Germany.

Warren says because all the forklifts are rebuilt to the same high standard, the operating cost will be the same as a new model.

The showrooms will be able to source forklifts from across the group. The desired forklift can be sourced and delivered within eight weeks.

Warren says because Jungheinrich operates a large contract hire fleet across Europe, it knows exactly what forklifts are returning and when. "Over the next three years we'll have more than 100,000 forklifts coming back from contract hire packages across the group, so if we can't find the forklift you want, it probably doesn't exist."
