Jungheinrich to showcase used forklift trucks17 January 2012

Forklift truck manufacturer Jungheinrich UK has announced a series of showcase events for secondhand trucks at its depots throughout the country. Running from February to October, the used equipment fairs will feature electric and engine-powered counterbalance forklifts, pallet trucks and reach trucks, and all will be available for next-day delivery.

The events will take place at Jungheinrich's depots in Warrington, Birmingham, Cumbernauld, Milton Keynes, Sheffield and Bristol.

The trucks on show will have been rebuilt at the group's specialist used truck refurbishment centre in Dresden, Germany. Each model will come with a full service history, LOLER certification and up to six months' warranty.

"With fully refurbished lift trucks available at around two thirds of the price of a new truck – and, in some cases, up to 40% less – many truck users have found that used forklifts represent an attractive and economical alternative to new equipment," says Craig Johnson, marketing manager of Jungheinrich UK.

"But financial considerations are not always the key driver and many organisations also choose to invest in used equipment if their forklift usage patterns and the intensity at which their trucks are expected to perform do not warrant purchasing new units," he adds.

Jungheinrich UK's used equipment showrooms are connected to an online database listing used trucks from all group subsidiaries throughout Europe.

Dates and locations are:

8 February, Warrington
18 April, Birmingham
25 April, Cumbernauld
16-17 May, Milton Keynes
27 June, Sheffield
18 July, Bristol
13 September, Warrington
9-10 October, Milton Keynes
7 November, Birmingham
