Open decision centre01—11 / PROCUREMENT SERIES
Download requirement worksheetCapacity is a system.
Not a single number.
Record the heaviest real load, its dimensions and where its centre of gravity sits. Then ask for available capacity at the required height with the intended attachment.
Read procurement guide 02 / MASTLift high.
Fit everywhere else.
Measure the highest fork position and the lowest overhead restriction on the full route. Confirm lowered mast height, free lift and capacity at height.
Read procurement guide 03 / SPACEMeasure the route.
Not just the aisle.
Measure the tightest loaded manoeuvre from pickup to placement. Include truck length, load length, turning radius and a practical clearance margin.
Read procurement guide 04 / POWERChoose the system.
Not a fuel label.
Map indoor and outdoor use, hours per shift, peak demand, charging or fuelling access and destination rules before choosing a power direction.
Read procurement guide 05 / BATTERYPlan the shift.
Then plan the battery.
Share working hours, peak periods, breaks, shifts, route and available power. Request a matched battery, charger and charging plan for the selected model.
Read procurement guide 06 / TYRESStart at the floor.
Protect the whole route.
Send clear route photos and identify smooth floors, joints, debris, ramps, wet areas and outdoor transitions before confirming the tyre package.
Read procurement guide 07 / ATTACHMENTSChange the task.
Recheck the capacity.
Choose the attachment around the load and process, then ask for compatibility and capacity confirmation on the exact forklift, mast and attachment combination.
Read procurement guide 08 / SHIPPINGPlan the machine.
Plan the journey.
Confirm destination, incoterm, packing method, shipping dimensions, container or transport plan, documents and unloading equipment in the quotation.
Read procurement guide 09 / INSPECTIONVerify the order.
Before it moves.
Create the inspection checklist from the final order specification, not from a generic machine list. Record results and agreed actions before release.
Read procurement guide 10 / QUOTATIONSCompare the scope.
Not just the price.
Create one requirement sheet and ask every supplier to respond to the same technical, commercial and delivery lines. Mark every assumption and exclusion.
Read procurement guide 11 / FORKLIFT PRICEUnderstand the price.
Define the complete scope.
Start with one operating brief, define the complete configuration and destination, then compare the included scope and exclusions rather than an isolated unit price.
