Great Falls, MT
Forklift Buyers in Great Falls, MT
We are the buyer, not the middleman. That distinction is the whole reason this page exists. We work Great Falls, MT regularly and combine it with stops in Helena and Havre, which is why we can be competitive on a single unit instead of only on fleets. Tell us the make, model, year, hours, fuel type, capacity, and mast, send a few photos, and you will have a firm number the same day in most cases. The agriculture and food processing here produces exactly the kind of trucks our buyers want.
Monday – Saturday, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM ET · No fees, no commissions, free pickup.

Every type of lift truck, Great Falls included
Our scope is forklifts and the material handling equipment that lives beside them — nothing else. In Great Falls and Cascade County that means ic pneumatic, electric counterbalance, order picker, diesel, narrow aisle, side loader, plus electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, order pickers, and telehandlers. If it lifts pallets, we are interested.
We buy every major nameplate: Kalmar, Hyundai, Bobcat, Clark, Big Joe, Daewoo, Other & Unlisted Brands, Combilift, and the rest. Brand matters to the offer, but far less than hours, mast condition, and whether the truck runs. A high-hour Toyota with a tired mast can be worth less than a low-hour Doosan that has been maintained.
Capacity range runs from 2,000 lb walkies up through 40,000 lb+ container handlers. The classes we see most often in Great Falls are 50,000 lb and up, 6,000 lb, 4,000 lb, 20,000 lb. Searches like "best forklift buyers" and "forklift buyers that pay cash" all land in the same place: send the specs, get a number.
Have the make, model, and hours handy? One call is usually all it takes.
(954) 740-1983What happens after you call us from Great Falls
First, the specs. Make, model, year, hour meter, fuel type, capacity, and mast configuration. Then photos: all four corners, the mast fully lowered, the data plate, and the hour meter. That is genuinely all we need to price a truck in Great Falls.
Second, the offer. We price against live wholesale, export, and auction comparables rather than a rule of thumb, and you get a firm number in writing inside 24 hours — usually the same business day if you reach us during working hours. The offer is firm. We do not quote high to win the call and then re-negotiate at the dock.
Third, pickup and payment. We schedule transport at our cost, our driver loads it, and you are paid at the time of pickup. For Great Falls that usually means a pickup window within a few business days, since we already run this corridor.

What your forklift is worth in Great Falls
Five things move the number, in roughly this order: hour meter, mast and carriage condition, powertrain health, tires, and attachments. On electrics, battery age and capacity replace powertrain — a truck needing a new lead-acid pack can be several thousand dollars behind an identical unit with a healthy, recently load-tested battery.
We grade A through D and we say the grade out loud. Grade A is starts cold, lifts and tilts to full height under load, no active hydraulic leaks, tires and mast in good order, hour meter working and consistent with the machine's appearance. Grade D still gets an offer, because core, component, and scrap value is not the same as worthless.
Nobody can quote a forklift accurately from a city name alone, and any site that gives you a firm price before seeing the machine is guessing. What we will commit to is the range in the table on this page, a real number within 24 hours of seeing your specs, and no reduction of that number at pickup. Call (954) 740-1983 and we will walk through your truck.
Getting it out of your building in Great Falls
We cover Great Falls and roughly 47 miles around it, including Helena, Havre, Butte, Belgrade. Freight is on us. You do not rent a lift to load a lift, and you do not chase a driver who never shows.
Access is the only thing we need to know in advance. Tell us whether the truck rolls or has to be dragged, whether it is on a dock or on a slab, whether the ceiling clears a mast, and whether there is room for a 48-foot trailer. Non-running units are routine — we bring winches for exactly that.
Single units and small lots get scheduled around your operation, including after-hours and weekend loading when a plant cannot give up the dock during production.

Condition grading
How we grade a forklift, A through D
Grade it honestly and the offer holds at pickup. We would rather quote a Grade C truck correctly than quote a Grade A number we have to walk back on your dock.
| Grade | Meaning | What It Looks Like | Effect On Offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Ready to Work | Starts cold, lifts and tilts to full height under load, no active hydraulic leaks, tires and mast in good order, hour meter working and consistent with the machine's appearance. | Top of our range |
| B | Running, Needs Minor Work | Runs and lifts but has identifiable minor issues — a seeping cylinder, worn tires, tired battery, cosmetic damage, a non-functioning gauge, or deferred maintenance. | Moderate reduction from top |
| C | Runs Poorly or Lifts Poorly | Starts but runs rough, will not lift to full height, has a significant hydraulic or transmission fault, a failed battery pack, or unknown recent service history. | Substantial reduction |
| D | Non-Running, Scrap, or Incomplete | Will not start, seized engine or drive unit, major structural damage, stripped of components, sat outdoors for years, or already partially dismantled. | Core, component, and scrap value |

Questions
Great Falls, MT forklift questions, answered
- Do you buy pallet jacks and other material handling equipment in Great Falls?
- Yes, within our lane: electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, reach trucks, order pickers, telehandlers, and forklift attachments. We are forklift specialists and we do not buy outside material handling.
- What does it cost to have a forklift picked up in Great Falls?
- Nothing. We arrange and pay for rigging, loading, and transport out of Great Falls ourselves. It is not deducted from your offer, and there are no commissions or listing fees at any point.
- Do you buy forklifts in Great Falls that do not run?
- Yes. Non-running, seized, flood-damaged, and stripped units are a routine purchase. The mast, counterweight, transmission, hydraulics, and steel all hold value, so a dead forklift in Great Falls is still worth a real number rather than a disposal fee.
- Who buys used forklifts in Great Falls?
- We do, directly. Forklifts Buyers is a cash buyer rather than a broker or a listing site, so the company that quotes your truck in Great Falls is the same company that pays for it and hauls it away. Call (954) 740-1983 with the make, model, and hours.
- Do you buy more than one forklift at a time in Great Falls?
- Fleet lots are where we are most competitive, because one trip to Great Falls covers every unit. Whether it is three trucks or forty, you get a single offer, a single pickup, and a single payment. Plant closures and consolidations are a large part of what we do.
- Is there any obligation once I get an offer in Great Falls?
- None. The offer is yours to take or leave, there is no fee for the quote, and we will not badger you afterward. If our number is not the best one you find in Great Falls, take the better one.
- My forklift is on the second floor in Great Falls. Can you still get it out?
- Usually, yes — freight elevators, ramps, and rigging are all part of the job. Tell us the access details up front (floor, doorway width, ceiling height, whether it rolls) so the right equipment shows up the first time.
- Can you buy a walkie stacker forklift in Great Falls?
- Yes. A walk-behind stacker bridges the gap between a pallet jack and a full counterbalance forklift. We buy them in Great Falls at every grade, from turn-key to non-running, in the 2,000 – 4,000 lb range.
