Buying Considerations in Pittsburgh
Dealer Coverage: Pittsburgh has authorized dealers for Clark (Trupar America), Taylor/UniCarriers/Hangcha/Komatsu (H&K Equipment), Rough Terrain (R.P. Crawford), and multi-brand specialists.
New vs. Used: New forklifts offer the latest technology and full warranty. Used forklifts offer significant savings (often 30–70% less) but require thorough inspection of hours, maintenance history, and condition.
Service and Support: H&K Equipment provides on-site service, OSHA training, and comprehensive parts support. Towlift offers AGV and railcar mover solutions.
Rental Options: Most major dealers offer daily, weekly, and monthly rentals. American Contractors Equipment and Trupar America provide rental fleets.
Financing: Available through most dealers. H&K Equipment offers financing and leasing programs.
Auction Buying: Most auction units are sold “as-is, where-is” with no warranty. Factor in buyer‘s premiums and transport costs.
