What to expect when reconditioning your warehouse forklifts

Why refurbish your Forklift with Toyota Industrial Equipment?

Reconditioning your forklift at Toyota Industrial Equipment allows you to restore your forklift’s performance and extend its lifespan by up to 2 years depending on what type reconditioning you choose from the menu. This results in significant cost savings as opposed to buying a new replacement forklift and increases the resale value of the forklift. Depending on your business structure the reconditioning of your forklift can be capitalised and released as accounting and tax benefits.

The benefits of reconditioning your forklift aren’t only financial. The performance of your forklift is significantly improved when reconditioned by a professional service provider. The downtime is reduced, and the safety of operation is also improved and most definitely when you as the customer is waiting for your new machine from the OEM which may take some time.
