Frequently Asked Questions About Forklifts

When it comes to forklifts, asking the right questions can make all the difference. Whether you're in the market for a new forklift or you're a seasoned forklift owner, having the right information is crucial for safety, productivity, and maximizing your return on investment. At JG, we understand that finding answers to your forklift-related questions can be challenging. That's why our industry-leading dealers are here to support you at every stage of your forklift ownership journey. To help you get started, here's a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions about forklifts, along with their answers.

**1. How do I determine which forklift I need?**

Choosing the right forklift for your specific application and work environment is critical for safety and productivity. With the extensive range of JG Forklifts available, it's common to feel overwhelmed. Don't worry; JG has qualified salesmen who can conduct a site survey at your location. This survey will help identify the ideal forklift or forklifts based on your unique requirements.

**2. What attachments can I add to my forklift?**

It's essential to purchase forklift attachments from the forklift manufacturer and have them installed by the manufacturer. JG offers a variety of attachments for various applications. However, keep in mind that adding attachments can change the capacity rating of your forklift. Whenever attachments are added, the data plate should be updated to reflect the new capacity rating.

**3. How often does my forklift require maintenance?**

Signing up for a planned maintenance agreement when you purchase your JG Forklift is your best option. A planned maintenance agreement ensures that your forklift receives timely and qualified maintenance from a JG Technician.

**4. Is a customer certified to operate a forklift forever once they get trained?

       No, forklift certification is valid until specific conditions occur as per OSHA regulations. These include unsafe operation of the forklift, involvement in an accident, a negative evaluation, being assigned to drive a different type of forklift, or changes in workplace conditions that could affect safe operation.
