EnglishHow to Get a Quote from Goscor Lift Trucks
Updated
You can request a quote directly through the "GET YOUR QUOTE TODAY" section on goscorlifttrucks.co.za, which the site describes as covering "all your forklift & warehousing equipment requirements." The quote form is the starting point whether you are buying new equipment, renting short-term, or considering pre-owned units — but the quality of the quote depends on how specifically you describe your operation. Below is what to prepare and how to work through each option.
Start with the quote entry point
The homepage carries a "GET YOUR QUOTE TODAY" heading with the line: "Get a comprehensive quote for all your forklift & warehousing equipment requirements." That is the intended route for a priced proposal rather than a general enquiry.
Because the site does not publish a single standard price list, treat the quote as a scoped proposal. The one price signal visible on the page is a promotional figure — a "NEW ARRIVAL 2.5t Bobcat NX Forklift" listed at a "Limited Landed Price: R299,990*" with a "View Now" link. The asterisk and the word "limited" indicate this is a specific offer, not a general price list, so use it as a reference point rather than an expectation for other models.
Decide which option you are quoting for
Goscor structures its offering across four routes, and your quote request should name the one you want:
| Option | What the site says | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| New products | "Wide range of competitively priced electric and diesel-powered forklifts as well as materials handling equipment for sale" | You need specified capacity and a full warranty cycle |
| Rentals | "Short-term forklift rental service provides customers with the flexibility they need to execute their projects" | Peak season, a fixed-length project, or a trial before buying |
| Pre-owned | "Quality second-hand forklifts country-wide which have been carefully restored to peak condition" | Budget-constrained but still needing restored, working equipment |
| Aftermarket | "Full-service support – 24/7/365" with technical service, genuine parts and breakdown support | You already operate equipment and need service or parts quoted |
If you are unsure, request the quote across more than one route — for example, new versus pre-owned for the same duty — so you can compare on the same terms.
Information to prepare before you submit
The site does not list required form fields, so prepare the operational detail that any forklift quote depends on. This is what turns a generic reply into a usable number:
- Power type — electric or diesel, since the site explicitly separates these two categories.
- Capacity — the tonnage class you need. The featured Bobcat NX is 2.5t, which gives you one concrete reference point.
- Application — general warehousing, narrow aisle, or outdoor yard work. Goscor describes itself as "forklift leaders and warehousing specialists," and is the sole distributor for Bendi, Crown, Bobcat, DEC and Sunlight Batteries and Energy Storage Solutions, so naming your aisle width or battery requirement helps route you to the right brand.
- Duration — purchase outright, or a defined rental period.
- Site and support needs — whether you also want parts, servicing, or breakdown cover included.
- Quantity — one unit or a fleet.
Read the quote against the certifications
Goscor states it is "proudly ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 45001: 2018 certified," with certificate links on the page. If your procurement process requires supplier compliance documentation, those certificates are the ones to request alongside the quote, and they are relevant when you are comparing Goscor against another supplier on more than price.
Common sticking points
- Treating the R299,990 figure as a catalogue price. It is attached to one limited offer on one model.
- Requesting a quote without a power type or capacity. The range spans electric and diesel across multiple brands, so an unqualified request slows the response.
- Ignoring the rental route. If your need is short-term, a rental quote may be more relevant than a purchase quote, and the site presents it as a distinct service.
- Forgetting aftermarket costs. A purchase quote that excludes servicing and parts may not reflect your total cost, and Goscor offers 24/7/365 support as a separate service line.
What to expect next
Goscor has operated since 1984 as part of the Goscor Group, providing "best-practice industrial warehousing equipment solutions." Once you submit a scoped request, the practical next step is to confirm which brand and model the quote covers, whether the price is landed or ex-works, and what service terms attach to it. If the first quote does not match your duty cycle, use the same prepared information to request an alternative from the new, rental, or pre-owned range rather than starting over.
