Sounds too good to be true? It probably is!

Buying forklifts from third-party online marketplaces carries serious risks. For peace of mind, only purchase from UKMHA-approved forklift dealers.

When purchasing a forklift, you should consider:
- What is the guarantee?
- What is its maintenance history?
- Is the after sales support reliable and sufficient?
- Is the document pack complete?
- Are replacement parts available?
- When did the forklift last have a Thorough Examination?
- Does is comply with safety legislation?

When choosing a supplier, look for the UKMHA logo – the ultimate indication of exceptional quality.
