Update: The forklift came with a used wrong size battery, the carb had a random spring installed to allow it to idle, their idea of a tune up/inspection and paint job turned out being painting over scale rust with incorrect colored non durable paint, a air filter, used battery, and plug swap. My fault should have taken a better look at the unit before believing everything I was told on the phone.PS: Picture of forklift head headlamps installed when arriving they were gone, when I called to ask where theyd gone he said the mechanics must have removed them (cut the wiring harness in half while at it) because they werent working. Gee, maybe try to fix one or two wires or replace a bulb? Or shoot just send not working but not cut out of machine.Looked around for a used forklift for a long time, private market, different dealers, and found Santana Equipment. There prices were fairer then any other dealer I tried locally. Didnt even make it out to the dealer as was tied up at the shop but my sales guy Nate was very patient with me, helping me select the right lift for me, sending me videos of it working, and any pictures/info I asked for! When it showed up was extremely impressed and still grinning ear to ear, he listened to what I wanted in a lift and nailed it! Love this thing, the final out the door price, and dealing with the guys out there! Thanks Nate, and Santana!
We bought a used Toyota forklift and had a great experience with Santana. I cannot say enough great things about our rep Alex and his team. They are excellent to do business with and outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend them!
Bought a Rebuilt forklift from Rick. When it was delivered we parked it for 2 weeks until we needed to use it. We just went to use it and All belts squeak and low power and when i call they say sorry we only give a week warranty even though the hour meter hasnt moved since dropped off. Buyers beware and do your due diligence. My fault I suppose for trusting a legit business without driving north to see it. Would not recommend to anyone, just poor customer service but they did cash the check fast!!
We at Medical Shipment had the distinct pleasure of working with Nate at Santana Equipment Trading Co. The company is professional, dependable and consistent. They are always willing to go the extra mile and deliver what they promise. We could not be happier with the equipment and the level of service!
Excellent staff. Didnt matter which part of the process I was in; from determining which machine would be best for our operation, to discussion about the forklifts with the lead mechanic (John), to signing the paperwork at the end, our experience was very good. Reasonable online pricing is what initially brought us to Santana Equip, and we drove a long way to buy one after lots of research and phone calls and visits to other places that were closer. I will strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a forklift.
After spending 3 days looking for a dependable place to purchase a forklift I came across Santana Equipment. I schedule an appointment to see what was available not meaning to walk out the same day with a forklift as I had other places I wanted to visit. They had a great selection of forklifts and the best part is that they are very knowledgeable with the equipment and do not hold back any info. You can ask as many questions as you want and they will give you a very knowledgeable answer.
Needed a reliable forklift at a reasonable price. Nate from the sales staff sent me some pictures of lifts that met my specifications. I came to look in person, and talked to their knowledgeable staff. I got to ask all the questions I wanted directly to a mechanic. Purchased a great forklift. Thanks Nate, and I would recommend this company anytime.
As the Owner of a Large Boat Yard, We store and service over 400 Boats. Our Fork lift is used 7 days a week and is an Invaluable tool. We could not operate with out it. When our current equipment needed Upgrading We turned to Santana Equipment for our next Fork Truck. The service we received was excellent. Nate at Santana is an excellent communicator and the Fork Truck was exactly as described. We took speedy delivery during our busy season and productivity could continue. We are In the process of purchasing another Lift from Santana Equipment
I highly recommend Santana Equipment. Omar was very accommodating on the sales side. When I went to pick up my forklift the service manager took me out and went over specifics that they serviced and what to do on routine service going forward. My machine is running great!
Purchased a forklift a few months back from Santana Equipment for our warehouse after the old one went out. Nathan was very helpful throughout the whole process and understood our needs. Customer service at Santana is top-notch and really exceeded my expectations. Machine is running great so far! Highly recommend!
Really nice people! Very friendly and efficient. I would have given them five stars but the narrow driveway was a real challenge to back into. Still though, really nice place to drop off at.
Rick took great care or us when we needed a piece of equipment. We did due-diligence and shopped the internet to know what was available at what prices. A friend highly recommended Santana as a reputable source to consider before we made a decision. After explaining our needs we were suited up with the right Forklift, with speedy delivery, at a great price! I highly recommend Santana for their customer care and pride in products. Our used Forklift came to our shop looking shiny and new and performed like it was off and running its first lift job! We couldnt be happier with our purchasing decision to work with Rick at Santana.
We needed a quality forklift for our warehouse and we needed it quick! Santana delivered our forklift fast without any pressure from the sales staff. Santana Equipment made sure we got the right forklift for our purposes without feeling pressured to buy something from their sales staff. We love the forklift and thanks again for all your help making the process of purchasing the forklift easy and smooth!
Nate was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing a forklift. He went above and beyond to help me out and I live out of state. He made sure the product I needed met my needs and did not push any product on me that did not. By far, the best customer service experience I have ever had. Santana Equipment trading company has a variety of forklifts at reasonable prices. My product was delivered as promised. I would definitely recommend them.
(Prairie) We purchased a Toyota forklift from Omar and Nate at Santana Equipment. They were very helpful in choosing the correct one for our company. Delivery and unloading was included and was dropped off per our request. Unit has been used daily for the past 3 weeks and is running great.
Had to purchase a replacement forklift. Never did that before. Santana answered all my questions in a friendly, professional manner. They found EXACTLY what I was looking for. Before purchasing they checked it out completely, which included adding a new paint job! They delivered the replacement and gave a fair price for the old one, which they picked up.Need a forklift? Santanas is the place.
They treated us very fair and we got excellent training from the service manager. Sales rep was very knowledgeable and helped steer us through the process without pressuring us in any way. Great company!
Nathan was very upfront with us throughout the whole process, patient with us as we worked through the process of getting him paid and made a prompt delivery of our forklift. It showed up exactly as described and is working beautifully in our warehouse. Highly recommend Santana Equipment Trading Company.
I have purchase 3 forklifts from Santana in the last 3 years and have been very satisfied with the pricing and service. As our business continues to grow, they have been our trusted source for forklifts. I highly recommend them.
I recently bought 2 Forklifts from Andy, his customer service was great and the lifts exceeded our expectations!
Nate Service has been great to work with.. A true gentlemen.
Purchased a used forklift, good unit. Nate and the team were great at communication and were flexible and attentive. Thanks Team
I cannot day enough good things. They helped me figure out what truck would be best for my needs. They didn’t try to sell me just any available truck, they helped me find what was best suited even though it ment waiting a while. Their technician was EXTREMELY knowledgabe and explained all about the mechanics of the truck.They were AMAZING to work with. I wish I found them sooner in the business process.
I purchased a forklift from Santana a few weeks ago and had a great experience. I ended up getting the exact forklift I had been searching for and it was also for a fair price in my opinion. I didnt feel rushed or any pushy salesman type environment. Thanks again
Zuri Hidalgo is a great sales representative,give you a great deal you can’t deny, very reasonable & great @ business negotiations I highly recommend working with her as well the service department focuses on ensuring you receive the best equipment possible @ a very reasonable rate, I’ve purchased 2-forklifts about 3-4 months ago & to this day they are functioning without fail, I feel confident that if i have any issue with my forklifts they will definitely help me repair them. I highly recommend this company.
Was able find what I needed, within my price range. Salesman was very understanding and service guys were very helpful.
Very easy to work with. Zury helped and made it really easy
I had great success in purchasing a Yale forklift from Nate at Santana Equipment. He was very knowledgeable about the lift and helpful in choosing the correct one for me!
I recently bought a forklift from Zury. Not only was she nice but easy to work with. She ensured I got the right equipment I was looking for. The forklift also exceeded my expectations.
Needed another lifttruck and found them on craigslist. Inquired about a specific unit then Nate called and we talked more about what I really needed. Super helpful and straight forward. I didnt feel like I was buying someone elses junk. Spent time talking to the head mechanic and the service mechanic. I felt like the decision was easy and was comfortable spending money on the unit.
I purchased a Yale forklift from Rick 6 months ago and I havent had any issues with it. My experience with Santana was great and I would recommend purchasing a forklift from them.
I just bought forklift Toyota 3013 and it was in a very good conditionsSam
Customer service was awesome! I talked to many forklift dealers reps but none like Señorita Zury. She was awesome, sweet, extremely helpful, and as if it couldnt get better, she was beautiful. Not only that but Santana offered the best prices. The process was so easy, I went in, found what I wanted, and actually left with my forklift all in less than 2 hours. Servicio increible!
The staff was very pleasant, there was no pressure to buy and in the end we got a very good deal.
Highly recommend purchasing from Santana equipment, great customer service and quality forklifts.
Great forklifts! Great service! Great people!
Like the other review where the guy purchased several lifts that didnt run or work as advertised we were duped as well.....then was accused of taking parts off machines or damaging the machines---were sold scrap parts trucks-at best all missing parts, pieces, broken, wore out.....I still have 6 lifts sitting here rusting away that all were tested that we bought from them a yr or more ago that all supposed to be good running machines...Im just waiting for scrap prices to go back up so I dont loose so much $$$...haha---tested but missing starters, half the engines, computers....junk
I bought 4 machines from them. Santana advertise every forklift as running and operating, when you get the forklifts, they dont run, you need to put in thousand of $ to repair them, some of them cant even be repaired and are only good for parts machine.
Very good staff, and excellent service
Fast unloading. Thank you!!!
If they are going to buy equipment from another country, do not use this supplier, they offered me some equipment from a place where they could not control the shipment, they did not ship all the equipment that they sold to me, they do not have the capacity to tie them well. port had to pay delays and mooring payments and when they arrived in Colombia one of the equipment was not the one that was paid.THEY DID NOT ANSWER ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING AND THE MONEY OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS NOT MOUNTED IN THE CONTAINER WAS NOT RETURNED TO ME, ARGUING THAT IT WAS MINE THAT IT COULD COLLECT WHEN I WANTED.THEY MADE ME LOSE A LOT OF MONEY, THAT LITTLE SUPPORT AND BAD RESPONSE TO THE CLIENTS.
