Guide to Used Material Handling Equipment

A used forklift is a major purchase for any company, large or small. It is not uncommon to find many customers interested in purchasing a certified pre-owned lift to save on upfront costs.

Our dealers carry a multitude of different kinds of used material handling equipment from used electric forklifts to internal combustion.  Like any important pre-owned big ticket item, such as a car, you always want to check the quality of its operational history, the cost of upfront repair, and note the frequency of routine maintenance. These factors should be just as important to your purchasing decision as the used forklift price itself.

Used Forklift Prices

Generally, you will find that used forklift prices are roughly half the price of a new one. This is standard for gas-powered or electric models. For example, if a machine retails for $30,000, then expect a used counterpart of the same model to be priced around $15,000. This price is definitely enticing and indeed often is a solid investment; just be sure that they long term maintenance costs will be worth the initial savings in the end.

When comparing used forklifts for sale, electric-powered are typically pricier than used gas-powered forklifts because of the sophistication level of its technology. For example, most used electric forklift models are produced with a lithium-ion battery that is a much more delicate and unique power source than fuel.

Used Lift Truck Maintenance

Used forklift maintenance will vary, but will always be more than a new machine. Basically, if the equipment has been heavily used in the past and you plan on using it daily, it will require shop work more frequently. This is why you never purchase a used forklift based on price alone.
