Electric forklifts

I never thought that I would find myself googling “forklift company orange county” until I found my company started to rapidly expand. We always had a big store room and used a pallet loader to cart our things around. When we bought that huge warehouse, I found myself in charge of getting everything we needed to operate and maintain it, which is how I found myself typing “forklift company orange county” into Google.

I had never even dealt with forklift rentals, let alone buying one, so I felt a bit in over my head. Did I want electric forklifts or pneumatic forklifts? These were all questions that the “forklift company orange county” search made me ask. After I spoke to a rep from the top ranked result, I realized that not only I should stick with used forklifts to minimize the cost, but that my main concern now was making sure I hired the right operators.

Here is what I learned about hiring the right forklift operators from my friend at the “forklift company orange county” search result.

1. For safety purposes.

There are plenty of on site accidents, and having certified drivers would minimize this risk. The certification programs have taught the drivers the limit of the machines and how to safely operate these machines. This training will lead to fewer accidents, which was a major concern of mine.

2. To comply with OSHA.

After safety, I was most concerned with following the law. My “forklift company orange county” friend told me that Federal regulations from OSHA made it mandatory to solely use certified forklift operators. I did not want to be responsible for any 7,000 dollar violation. You can be fined as high as 70,000 dollars for multiple will full violations.

3. Less product damaged.

Certified forklift drivers are more careful, which means not only less accidents with personnel, but also with the product. Fewer dropped pallets and less ruined products was definitely a good reason to hire certified forklift drivers, too.

That, folks, is why I became more concerned about hiring than I did about the procurement of forklifts. Of course, for all his great customer service help, I wound up buying my forklifts from my “forklift company orange county” and got a pretty good deal I think.
