Inquiry Guide For Full Electric Four-wheel Forklift, Avoid Quotation Traps

Many factory buyers are easily attracted by low-price titles. Until order placement, they find reduced configurations and stacked extra charges, making the final procurement cost far higher than expected. Understanding quotation composition and distinguishing basic models from optional accessories helps you get reasonable equipment budget. How much is a full electric four-wheel forklift? This article explains clearly.

The price of full electric four-wheel counterbalance forklift from domestic source factories is mainly divided by load capacity and battery type. The following are reference prices for standard bare machines. 1.5 ton lead-acid basic model, 3m mast, price about 32000-42000 CNY; 1.5 ton lithium battery model with same specification, price 40000-50000 CNY. 2 ton lead-acid basic model with standard 3m mast, quotation range 38000-48000 CNY; 2 ton lithium battery model 46000-58000 CNY. 3 ton lead-acid basic model price 48000-60000 CNY, 3 ton lithium battery model 58000-72000 CNY.

The above prices are only for bare machines. Low-price promotion from many suppliers only covers the basic body. Extra charges will apply for higher mast, side shifter, solid tires, cabin, air conditioner, explosion-proof configuration and other items. For forklifts with the same load capacity, battery capacity, motor type and CE export certification will also cause obvious price differences. These are common pitfalls during inquiry.

Many purchasers only compare prices by tonnage and ignore battery warranty period and on-site after-sales coverage, which will greatly increase maintenance cost in later operation.

It is recommended to inform the manufacturer of all working conditions at one time, including rated load, lifting height, indoor or outdoor application, ground condition and whether export certification is required. Ask the supplier for detailed quotation sheet, marking included items, warranty period, transportation cost and on-site commissioning cost, to separate bare machine price from total landed price and avoid disputes caused by oral promises.

Optional configurations vary with working conditions. Blind pursuit of low price may lead to underperforming equipment, and long-term downtime and repair will raise total cost.
