We are principal buyers of used forklifts and material handling equipment across all fifty states. Single units from behind a shop, complete fleets from a closing distribution center, dealer trade-in overflow, and rental retirements. Every brand, every capacity from 3,000 lb through 100,000 lb, running or not, with payment upfront and freight on us.
Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Raymond, Caterpillar, Clark, Mitsubishi, Nissan, UniCarriers, Komatsu, Linde, Doosan, Hyundai, Jungheinrich, TCM, Daewoo, Taylor, Hoist Liftruck, Kalmar, Combilift, Landoll Bendi, JLG, Genie, SkyTrak, Sellick, Big Joe, and EP Equipment. Discontinued and obscure brands too — when factory parts support ends, used machines become the only source, which often makes older iron worth more than sellers expect.
Three-wheel electrics at 3,000 lb, the ubiquitous 5,000 lb warehouse truck, 8,000 and 10,000 lb pneumatic units for yards and lumber, 15,000 and 20,000 lb mill machines, and heavy capacity forklifts and container handlers from 30,000 lb to 100,000 lb. Higher capacity means a narrower buyer pool and higher per-unit value, and the heavy end is a specialty of ours.
The transaction works the same at any scale. A single truck gets the same firm offer, upfront payment, and free freight as a forty-unit mixed lot. For fleet purchases we price the package as a whole, coordinate staged removal around your operations, and leave nothing behind — including the walkies, chargers, and attachments that other buyers cherry-pick around.
Photos of each side, the mast and carriage, the data plate, the hour meter, and the tires, plus one plain sentence about what works and what does not. That is enough for a firm number the same business day in nearly every case.
Recent purchases loaded and hauled at our cost.
Send photos of the forklift, the data plate, and the hour meter. We reply with a firm number the same business day — usually within a few hours.
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.
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.
Accept the offer and payment goes out before pickup. No consignment, no waiting for us to resell it, no reduced number at the dock.
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.
Sit-down cushion and pneumatic tire forklifts from 3,000 lb to 15,000 lb capacity — the most common truck on any floor and our most frequent purchase.
48V and 36V electric sit-down and stand-up forklifts — with good batteries, dead batteries, or no battery at all.
LP gas forklifts from 3,000 lb to 12,000 lb — the workhorse of American warehouses, bought in any condition.
Diesel pneumatic forklifts from 5,000 lb to 36,000 lb — lumber yards, steel yards, ports, and construction fleets.
Stand-up reach trucks, double-reach, and narrow aisle units from Raymond, Crown, Yale, and Toyota.
Low, mid, and high-level order pickers — Crown SP and Raymond 5000 series, any hour meter.
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.
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.
Yes. Side shifters, fork positioners, rotators, carton clamps, paper roll clamps, drum handlers, extended forks, and man baskets all have their own market. So do battery chargers, spare battery packs, and racks of forks. If you are clearing a maintenance area, tell us what is on the shelves — we regularly buy attachments and chargers in the same transaction as the trucks.
A scrap yard pays by the pound for steel. We pay for the machine as a machine — its make, model, capacity, hours, mast, attachments, and rebuildable components. On a running truck the difference is frequently several thousand dollars, and even on a dead unit our number generally beats scrap because the drivetrain and mast retain resale value that a shredder ignores. You also skip paying a hauler, since our freight is free.
That is our specialty. Mixed lots of any composition — propane sit-downs, reach trucks, order pickers, a wall of walkies, a telehandler, scissor lifts, racking-adjacent equipment — priced as one package with one payment and a coordinated pickup schedule. We work with facility managers, liquidators, and auctioneers on deadline-driven closures and can stage removal around your last day of operations.
Constantly, and many dealers keep us on standing call. Trade-ins that will not retail, aged inventory tying up floor space, units taken on allowance that do not fit your mix, and rental retirements. We buy them in bulk, pay upfront, and clear your back lot without you having to retail or auction anything.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Text photos to 954-740-1983 or email them. Same-business-day offer, payment upfront, freight on us in all fifty states.
