Buying Considerations
Match the model to your application: FG series (LPG) for mixed indoor/outdoor warehouse work; FD series (diesel) for heavy outdoor applications; FB series (electric) for indoor, zero-emission warehouses.
New vs. used: New Komatsu forklifts offer the latest technology (Tier 4 Final engines, fuel efficiency up to 30% improved) and full warranty. Used Komatsu forklifts offer significant savings (auction units from $687 to $19,995) but require inspection.
Check key specifications: Lift capacity, lift height, mast type (2-stage vs. 3-stage), side shift, tire type (cushion vs. pneumatic), and hours.
Auction risks: Most auction units are sold “as-is, where-is” with no warranty. Verify condition before bidding (e.g., FD35T-7 “starts, drives, lifts, and lowers” is noted as very good condition).
Dealer support: Authorized Komatsu dealers provide parts, service, and warranty coverage through a network of over 200 locations.
Financing: Available through most dealers.
