  1. Not only forklift but all the things having advantages, carry some disadvantages with them too. This electric forklift as i listened from the users is far better than the old one. And advancements in this industry are making it very easier for us to use machines instead of man power.

  3. Thank you very much for the information!
    I’m fairly new to the industry and it’s hard… There is too many things to consider when choosing forklifts! This is really making the decision process way too complicated.
    I’ve been looking on the internet and to be honest, Llorsa Carretillas S.A. is the company that looks best right now (http://www.llorsa.com/en/). Additionally, on their website they have a second hand section (http://www.llorsa.com/en/used-forklifts/), where they have forklifts and plenty other machines, such as, order pickers, pallet trucks, reach trucks and stackers. As far as I can see, they don´t just have machines from the brand Crown, they also have other brands: BT, Daewoo, Doosan, Hyster, Jungheinrich, OM and Still. Do you know or have any experience with this brands? Could you please recommend me any other brands to compare and have a wider range of choice?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

  4. I have been carefully reading up on all of the advantages and disadvantages listed in this article, since I find myself fully inmersed in process of purchase decision and I have yet to decide on whether I'm leaning towards an electric forklift or hand forklift.
    Do you know of the web page Llorsa Forklifts S.A. (http://www.llorsa.com/en/)? I have been looking through their electric forklift selection and, as far as I can see, the Crown electric forklifts are pretty prowerful, aren't they? Are you familiar with the Crown electric forklifts? Could you reccomend a brand which may be better than this one?
    For the type of business I am taking on, I think I will end up leaning towards purchasing electric forklifts although, according to your own prior experience, do you think I could manage with a used forklift? Check out the ones by Llorsa Forklifts S.A.: http://www.llorsa.com/en/used-forklifts/.
    Thank you in advance for all of your help.
