Demo an Electric Counterbalance Forklift With Your Own Pallets
Buyers should require a demonstration using their own pallets and loads, then confirm load, battery, and acceptance details in the RFQ.
Ask the supplier to demonstrate the electric counterbalance forklift with your own loaded pallets, not generic demo blocks. A machine rated for 2,000–3,500 kg may handle your pallets differently depending on load shape, stacking height, and aisle width, so the trial should mirror your actual handling cycle.
In the RFQ, specify the pallet dimensions, load weight, lift height, and travel path you want tested. During the demonstration, compare cycle time, stability at height, and battery behavior under repeated lifts. Ask whether the lithium-ion battery supplied matches the duty cycle you observed, and request the same test as an acceptance check before final payment.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which pallets and loads will be used in the demonstration, who provides them, what lift heights and aisle conditions will be tested, and how results will be recorded for acceptance.
