Regular forklift maintenance and servicing is imperative to keep machines running correctly. A well-maintained machine will provide you with years of reliable and safe service. A neglected machine will break down more frequently, require replacement sooner and, most importantly, put your operators at risk. If you want get the most out of your investment and help reduce forklift accidents, preventative maintenance is a must. Here are 6 of the most important steps you should take to ensure your machines run properly.
Having the right equipment on hand for the right job is critical to success in industries as varied as distribution and warehousing . Businesses needing new warehouse equipment (such as lift equipment), however, sometimes do not realize that they have options when it comes to obtaining these items.
Purchasing lift equipment is a big commitment that can come with a big price tag. Saving money by investing in lower-priced used machinery can be a wise move by some businesses. In particular, start up companies, and businesses looking for lift equipment to use on an intermittent or short-term basis can often benefit from the purchase of used forklifts and other equipment.
Acquiring lift equipment is a major decision that requires careful consideration, in part because there are multiple good options for doing so. For example, equipment rental is a viable and low-cost option for many businesses looking to add to their job capabilities. However, for other businesses, or for certain types of equipment, buying the machinery outright makes the most sense. While the pros and cons of each option must be considered before a business commits to a course of action, here are a few reasons for buying lift equipment instead of pursuing equipment rental.
A family-owned company for more than six decades, Darr Equipment Co. provides customized industrial equipment solutions to our customers. We believe in providing excellent customer service and always putting our customers first. In addition to these core values, we’re proud supporters of the local communities in which we operate.
When it comes to industrial equipment rental or purchase, you typically have many factors to consider before choosing a particular piece of machinery. For example, should you rent or buy? Should you obtain a new or used piece of equipment? What kind of technology should you look for?
Forklifts, like any type of industrial equipment, require regular inspection and maintenance to remain in good working order. And one of the most important areas of the forklift to keep an eye on is the forks.
Proper forklift maintenance might seem like an expensive inconvenience. Taking the time for daily checks, setting up a comprehensive maintenance plan with qualified technicians, and paying to replace hoses, fluids, forks, or tires that have not yet broken might feel like an inefficient use of resources.
Today is the fifth annual National Forklift Safety Day sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA). This event provides the opportunity to educate forklift operators and companies on the value and importance of forklift safety and operator training.
With maintenance and operation costs per year, forklifts are not inexpensive to own. That is one reason that delaying (or avoiding) routine forklift maintenance is so tempting for many businesses. Can't that money be better spent elsewhere?
Bonton Farms, a DFW nonprofit dedicated to providing access to healthy food and jobs for an underprivileged South Dallas community, recently received a refurbished Cushman 1600 UTV, to help keep their farms’ operations moving. The piece of industrial equipment was a gift from Darr Equipment, Co.

Technology continuously transforms our world, usually for the better. New medical technology saves lives. New marketing technology brings in more business. More personal technology makes access to information faster and
easier. Fortunately for those in the materials handling industry, new technology means safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly machines.
