Every Manufacturer We Purchase

Brand liquidity affects the number, but it never determines whether we buy. When factory parts support ends on a discontinued line, used machines become the only source — which frequently makes older iron surprisingly valuable.

Toyota

The most liquid brand in the used market. 8FGCU and 8FGU series, 7-series, electric 8FBCU and 8BRU reach trucks, and 8HBW walkies — we buy every model, any hour meter, running or not.

Hyster

H50FT through H1050 heavy capacity, S-series cushion trucks, N-series reach trucks, and W-series walkies. Fortis and XT lines especially in demand.

Yale

GLC and GLP sit-down riders, ERC electrics, NR and NDR reach trucks, MPB pallet jacks, and GDP pneumatic units in every capacity.

Crown

RR reach trucks, SP and SC order pickers, PE and WP pallet jacks, FC counterbalance electrics. Crown holds resale value better than nearly anything electric.

Raymond

7000 and 7500 series reach trucks, 5000 series order pickers, 8210 and 8410 walkies, and swing-reach turret trucks from high-density warehouses.

Caterpillar

CAT 2C and GP series propane and diesel trucks, DP heavy capacity units, EP electrics, and CAT-badged telehandlers including TL943 and TL1055.

Clark

C25, C30, and CGC series propane trucks, ECX electrics, and the legacy Clark iron still running in plants nationwide. Older Clarks still bring real offers.

Mitsubishi

FGC and FG series cushion and pneumatic trucks, FB electrics, and heavy capacity units. Mitsubishi and Cat lift trucks share platforms and both sell fast.

Nissan

MCP and MCU cushion trucks, MP pneumatic units, and platform-series electrics. Now UniCarriers, still very much in demand used.

UniCarriers

The Nissan and TCM successor line — PF, PD, and BX series trucks purchased nationwide, any condition, any hour meter.

Komatsu

FG and FD series forklifts from 3,000 lb through 25,000 lb, plus AX50 and BX50 platforms. Komatsu diesel iron is a favorite of our heavy-equipment buyers.

Linde

H-series diesel and LPG trucks, E-series electrics, and R-series reach trucks. European engineering with a strong North American resale market.

Doosan

GC and D series forklifts and the Bobcat-badged equivalents — dependable mid-market trucks we buy in single units and fleets.

Hyundai

25L and 30L series propane trucks, diesel pneumatic units, and battery electrics from warehouses and yards nationwide.

Jungheinrich

ETV reach trucks, EFG electric counterbalance units, and EJE walkies — premium narrow aisle equipment with a strong used market.

TCM

Legacy TCM propane and diesel forklifts still working in plants across the country. Obsolete parts support makes used units genuinely valuable.

Daewoo

Daewoo G and D series forklifts, the predecessor line to Doosan — we buy them running or not, anywhere in the country.

Taylor

TX, TY, and THD heavy capacity forklifts from 15,000 lb to 125,000 lb. Big Red iron out of ports, mills, and steel yards is a specialty of ours.

Hoist Liftruck

P-series and F-series high capacity trucks and container handlers from steel service centers and intermodal yards.

Kalmar

DCE and DCF heavy forklifts, container handlers, and reach stackers from port and intermodal operations.

Combilift

C-series and CB multi-directional sideloaders plus Straddle Carriers — niche long-load machines with dedicated buyers waiting.

Landoll

Bendi articulating narrow aisle trucks and Drexel SwingMast units from high-density warehouse operations.

JLG

G-series telehandlers, 943 and 1055 models, plus scissor lifts and boom lifts from rental fleets and contractor yards.

Genie

GTH telehandlers, GS scissor lifts, and S and Z boom lifts. Rental retirements and contractor downsizing are our most common source.

SkyTrak

8042, 10042, and 10054 telehandlers — the construction site standard, bought running or with hydraulic and engine faults.

Sellick

S80, S100, and TMF rough terrain forklifts from lumber yards, building supply, and agricultural operations.

Big Joe

Walkie stackers, straddle stackers, and electric pallet jacks — the small-warehouse workhorses we buy by the lot.

EP Equipment

Lithium electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and counterbalance trucks — newer inventory with strong resale demand.

Photos to Payment in Four Steps

01

Send Photos

Text or email photos of the forklift — overall shots, the data plate, and the hour meter if it reads. No forms, no inspection appointments, no waiting on an appraiser.

02

Get a Firm Offer

We price from your photos and reply the same business day with a real number, not a range. What we quote is what you get paid.

03

Payment Upfront

Accept the offer and payment goes out before pickup. No consignment, no waiting for us to resell it, no reduced number at the dock.

04

We Handle the Freight

Our carriers load and haul at our cost, including units that will not start or drive. You do not arrange a truck or pay a dime for transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my forklift has a blown engine or bad transmission?

Still buyable. A blown engine, seized transmission, dead hydraulic pump, or cracked mast rail is a line item in our valuation, not a disqualification. Be specific about what failed so the offer is accurate the first time and there is no adjustment later. Trucks with major mechanical faults are a routine part of our volume.

Do you buy telehandlers, scissor lifts, and boom lifts?

Yes. Telehandlers are among the strongest-value machines we purchase — JLG, Genie, CAT, SkyTrak, Lull, JCB, Manitou — and we buy scissor lifts and boom lifts alongside them, particularly from rental fleet retirements and contractors downsizing after a project. Include attachments like buckets, truss booms, and platforms in your photos.

How do you value a forklift with high hours?

Hours matter less than most sellers assume. A 20,000-hour propane truck that has been maintained can be worth more than an 8,000-hour unit that sat outdoors and rusted. We look at the whole picture: mast condition, hydraulic leaks, tire wear, cosmetic state, service history, and how the market is currently moving on that specific model. Send the hour meter photo and let us weigh it properly.

Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?

None. Offers are free and there is no obligation. Plenty of people contact us simply to establish a value for budgeting, insurance, or an internal approval process, then sell months later or not at all. We would rather be the number you compare against than not hear from you.

Do you buy forklifts in every state?

All fifty states plus Washington D.C. We are a nationwide buyer with carrier coverage everywhere, including rural areas that local dealers will not drive to. Remote locations do not reduce your offer, because freight is our cost and we build it into our own math, not into your number.

Who handles the paperwork and title?

We do. Forklifts generally do not carry titles like on-road vehicles, so most transactions need only a bill of sale, which we prepare. For government, institutional, or corporate sellers who require purchase orders, W-9s, insurance certificates, or specific release forms, we complete whatever your process requires.

Can you buy equipment stored outdoors or in a fence line?

Yes, and we do it regularly. Units that have sat outside for seasons, sunk into gravel, or been parked behind a building since the last plant manager left are all normal for us. Our carriers handle recovery, including winching and rigging. Send photos showing access so we can plan the right equipment for retrieval.

Do you buy manual pallet jacks and small warehouse equipment?

In lots, yes. Manual pallet jacks, walkie stackers, drum lifts, hand trucks, and similar equipment are worth buying when there is volume. A single manual jack is not worth a freight run, but twenty of them alongside a couple of forklifts absolutely is, and it beats paying to dispose of them.

How long does pickup take after I accept?

Typically two to seven business days depending on your location and the equipment involved. Metro areas on major freight lanes move fastest. Heavy capacity units needing lowboy transport or rigging take a little longer to schedule. If you are working against a lease expiration or facility close-out date, tell us the deadline and we will build the schedule around it.

What if I have already gotten a quote from someone else?

Get ours too. Sellers are often surprised at the spread between offers on identical equipment, and we are frequently higher because we buy for our own inventory rather than brokering for a fee. Even if you use another buyer, having a second firm number in hand is free leverage.

Do you buy forklifts from auctions or estates?

Yes. We work with auctioneers, estate representatives, bankruptcy trustees, and liquidators who need equipment moved on a firm timeline. We can buy pre-auction to reduce risk, buy no-sale lots afterward, or take an entire equipment category off the catalog before the sale.

Do you buy narrow aisle and cold storage equipment?

Yes, and cold-storage-rated units command premiums. Reach trucks, double-reach, turret trucks, order pickers, and walkies configured for freezer duty are in short supply on the used market. If your units have cold storage packages, wire guidance, or high-lift masts, make sure to say so — those specs raise the offer meaningfully.

Do you buy forklifts that do not run?

Yes, and it is a large share of what we buy. A forklift that will not start, will not lift, or has not moved in years still carries real value in its mast, carriage, transmission, drive axle, hydraulics, and counterweight. We buy dead units every week. Tell us honestly what it does and does not do, send photos, and we price accordingly. A non-running truck gets a lower number than a working one, but it still gets a real offer and we still cover the freight, including winching it onto the trailer.

How fast can you make an offer?

The same business day in almost every case, and often within a couple of hours. Text or email photos of the forklift, the data plate, and the hour meter, and you will have a firm number back — not a range, not an estimate pending inspection. We are principal buyers using our own capital, so nobody has to route your unit through a committee.

What do you need to price my forklift?

Four things get you an accurate number: the make and model from the data plate, the capacity, the hour meter reading if it still works, and photos. For photos, take a shot of each side, one of the mast and carriage, one of the data plate, and one of the tires. Then tell us whether it starts and lifts. If you have attachments, a charger, or an LP tank, mention those too, because they add to the offer.

Do I have to pay for pickup or freight?

No. Freight is entirely our cost, in every state. Our carriers handle loading and hauling, including units that will not drive onto the trailer under their own power. For heavy capacity forklifts and container handlers we arrange lowboy and step-deck transport with rigging. You never book a truck, never pay a fuel surcharge, and never see a deduction for transport on your payment.

When do I get paid?

Before the truck leaves. Payment goes out once you accept the offer and we confirm pickup details — wire, company check, or cash depending on the size of the deal and your preference. We do not work on consignment, we do not pay after resale, and we do not renegotiate at the dock. The number you accept is the number you receive.

Will you buy a single forklift or only fleets?

Both. One forklift sitting behind a shop is a perfectly normal transaction for us and we treat it the same way we treat a forty-unit deal: firm offer, payment upfront, freight on us. Fleets are where the largest dollars are, but a single unit is never too small to be worth a call.

Do you buy electric forklifts with dead batteries?

Yes. A dead or missing battery changes the number, never the willingness to buy. Lead-acid packs carry core value even when they no longer hold a charge, and the truck itself is what most buyers want. If you still have the charger, include it — chargers add real money and we will take them in the same load.

What brands of forklift do you buy?

All of them. Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Raymond, Caterpillar, Clark, Mitsubishi, Nissan, UniCarriers, Komatsu, Linde, Doosan, Hyundai, Jungheinrich, TCM, Daewoo, Taylor, Hoist, Kalmar, Combilift, Landoll, JLG, Genie, SkyTrak, Sellick, Big Joe, EP Equipment, and the obscure and discontinued names too. Older or off-brand iron is often worth more than sellers expect precisely because parts support has dried up and used units are the only source.
