Spec-Forward · Honest · No Fluff
In-depth guides for procurement teams: how to specify the right equipment, sourced from manufacturer documentation and real warehouse experience. Sometimes the answer is "don't buy that."
Each guide takes ~10 minutes to read and walks through specifying the equipment in the order a procurement team should think about it.
Capacity, mast height, fuel type, tires, ITA class, attachments, warranty, financing, and lead time — everything that actually matters when specifying a forklift, in the order you should think about it.
Every standard pallet dimension — GMA 48×40, Euro EUR-1, ISO, military, chemical, dairy, automotive — with load capacities, weights, ISPM 15 export rules, and the right pallet jack or forklift for each size.
