The Importance of Consulting Experts Before Purchasing Warehouse and Dock Equipment

When it comes to buying warehouse and dock equipment, it's easy to be tempted by the convenience of online shopping. However, not all products are created equal, and what looks like a great deal might not actually meet your business needs. Are you sure the product fits your forklift? Will it work in your facility? And have you considered the full cost of shipping and installation?

With over 50 years of experience in manufacturing dock and warehouse equipment, Koke has seen firsthand how important it is to consult with experts before making a purchase. Many of our customers initially tried buying online, only to later realize that the support, guidance, and expertise we offer provide far greater value than a simple click-to-buy transaction.

What You Can Gain from Talking to Equipment Experts

One of the biggest risks of buying warehouse or dock equipment without expert advice is receiving something that doesn’t fit or function as intended. This can lead to costly delays, wasted time, and even safety issues. For example, if the equipment isn't the right size for your forklift, or if it doesn't meet local regulations, it could end up being unusable.

At Koke, we believe that a short conversation with one of our specialists can prevent these problems. It takes just a few minutes to discuss your specific needs, location, and application. That quick call could save you days of downtime and potentially thousands of dollars in return costs or lost productivity.

Did you know? Adding attachments to your forklift can reduce its lifting capacity. Our team will help you understand exactly how much capacity you’ll lose based on your forklift model and the attachments you choose. We ensure that the equipment we sell allows you to get a new data plate without any issues.

Take forklift attachments, for instance. While they may be available online, many listings don’t specify whether they meet OSHA standards or if they allow for a valid data plate. When you reach out to Koke, our team ensures that the attachments you choose are compatible with your forklift and that you can easily obtain an updated data plate. We guarantee this process because we are a preferred manufacturer for leading forklift brands.

Custom Equipment Needs Expert Guidance

If you're looking for custom solutions, speaking with an expert is even more crucial. While many online retailers only offer standard-sized products, Koke can customize equipment to fit your unique requirements—within regulatory guidelines. Whether it’s a special dock board, a tailored safety basket, or a specialized attachment, our team can guide you through the best options for your operations.

We recommend a quick consultation for all our products, including forklift attachments, safety baskets, and dock equipment. There are often factors that people overlook, such as space constraints, weight limits, or compliance rules, which can significantly affect the effectiveness of a product. Our experts ask detailed questions about your location and usage to ensure you make the best choice for your business.

Still unsure if it's worth the call? Consider this: one of our recent customers was looking for carpet poles for his forklift. He said, “Koke taught me more about carpet poles in 15 minutes than I had learned in years of working in the industry.”

Whether you’re looking for standard or custom equipment, the best results come from a direct conversation with the experts. Let’s talk today and find the right solution for your business.
