  • What do I need to know when buying a forklift?

    When shopping for forklifts in Batavia, IL, choose the right type and power source for your environment, make sure it can handle your load weight and lift height, consider how often you'll use it and the terrain, and factor in both the purchase price and long-term maintenance costs.
  • Why buy a used forklift instead of a new forklift?

    A used forklift costs less, holds its value better, is often available immediately, and is a great option if you only need it for light or occasional use. To shop for used forklifts in Batavia, IL, contact Somerset Equipment Sales.
  • Do I want electric or internal combustion?

    It depends on your needs. Electric forklifts are ideal for indoor use-they're quiet, clean, and cost less to maintain. Internal combustion (gas or diesel) forklifts are better for outdoor or heavy-duty work, offering more power and longer run times.

  • Should I rent or buy a forklift?

    If you need a forklift short-term or occasionally, renting is more cost-effective and flexible. If you use one regularly, buying can save money over time and give you full control over the equipment. Contact Somerset Equipment Sales for a reliable forklift rental in Batavia, IL.
