A Crown® forklift can be extremely helpful for many different types of businesses. A forklift rental can help to get many tasks done on a short-term basis, but a rental isn't a great long-term solution, as it can become costly over time. Forklift sales have become popular, as businesses move quicker and need to move more efficiently. Here are several instances where purchasing a forklift can be extremely beneficial. 

4 Times a Forklift Is Useful 

1. Distribution Centers 

A distribution center requires manpower to move large and heavy boxes from one location to another. Without a forklift, the job would require dozens of employees carrying large pallets across the warehouse floor. All of this heavy-lifting can be dangerous to your employees and potentially cause harm in the long term. This is a situation where purchasing a Crown forklift could be very beneficial and financially sensible. 

2. Construction Sites 

For construction projects, it is nearly impossible to operate effectively without access to a forklift. Each day, tons of materials are moved around a site with rough terrain. Construction equipment can be so large that it’s nearly impossible for a team to lift the machinery on their own. In this situation, purchasing a Crown forklift will provide a means of material transport for loads that can’t be carried by your site workers.   

3. Home Remodels 

For homeowners with several “flipped” homes, a forklift can be a big help. It can be a smart solution if you find that you’re remodeling several homes each year and view your projects as business. If you are working on a smaller home remodel, a forklift rental could be a sensible solution, but if real estate flipping is your business, purchasing a Crown forklift will be a sound long-term investment. 

4. Dockyards 

Unloading shipping goods and barges require the use of a forklift because of the size of the shipped goods. Using a machine rather than manual labor saves time and is the most efficient method of unloading ships.
