| Question | Why this is decisive | Tip (what you provide for a quick quote) |
|---|---|---|
| 1) Propulsion & center of gravity | It's not just the weight that counts: a long load can be “heavier” due to the leverage. | Weight + dimensions + where the center of gravity is located. |
| 2) Lifting height & mast type | A few centimeters can make the difference (duplex/triplex/free lift). | Required lifting height + passage height (door/gate). |
| 3) Indoor/outdoor & underground | Electric/LPG/diesel and tire choice depend directly on this. | Indoor / outdoor / mix + floor (flat/rough/slope). |
| 4) Space & turning radius | Narrow aisles often call for a 3-wheel or compact model. | Aisle width + tight turns + dock/port width. |
| 5) Investments & term | Day, week, month, or long-term: this determines the smartest solution and cost. | Hours per day/shift + start date + duration + location. |
