Forklift classes and value ranges
Ranges are cash paid to you with rigging and freight covered by us. Condition and hours decide where inside the band a specific truck lands.
Electric Counterbalance ForkliftElectric (lead-acid or lithium)The workhorse of indoor warehousing. Three-wheel and four-wheel electric counterbalance trucks carry no engine, so the deciding factors on value are battery health, hour meter, and mast condition. A truck with a strong battery and a recent load test is worth substantially more than an identical unit needing a replacement pack.$3,000 – $22,000IC Pneumatic ForkliftDiesel, LP, or gas internal combustionInternal combustion pneumatic tire trucks handle rough outdoor surfaces where cushion tire machines cannot go. Engine hours, transmission behaviour, and hydraulic leak history drive the number. Because they work outdoors, cosmetic wear is expected and does not hurt value the way mechanical faults do.$4,000 – $28,000Cushion Tire ForkliftLP, gas, or electricSolid cushion tires give a tight turning radius on smooth concrete, which is why these dominate indoor plants and dock operations. Values track hour meter and mast wear closely. Fresh tires and a clean, leak-free mast noticeably raise the offer.$3,000 – $19,000Narrow Aisle ForkliftElectricPurpose-built to work aisles too tight for a counterbalance truck. Because they are specified around a particular rack layout, mast height and collapsed height matter as much as hours. Tall-mast units in good order are genuinely sought after.$3,500 – $24,000Reach TruckElectricReach trucks pantograph the load into the rack instead of driving it in, letting warehouses run narrow aisles with tall racking. Battery state, mast stage count, and reach mechanism wear determine the offer. Cold-storage-spec trucks are their own sub-market.$4,000 – $26,000Order PickerElectricThe operator platform rises with the forks so pickers can pull individual cases at height. Platform height, wire-guidance or rail-guidance hardware, and safety harness anchor condition all factor in. Higher-lift units carry more value.$3,000 – $20,000Stand-Up Rider ForkliftElectricStand-up riders let the operator step on and off quickly, which suits dock and trailer loading. Because they see high cycle counts, the hour meter and drive-unit condition are the first things we look at.$3,000 – $18,000Sit-Down Rider ForkliftElectric, LP, diesel, or gasThe most widely deployed forklift configuration in the country. Because supply is deep, the offer hinges on hours, service history, and whether the truck starts and lifts under load on the day we look at it.$3,000 – $25,000Rough Terrain ForkliftDieselLarge flotation tires and high ground clearance let these work unimproved ground. Four-wheel-drive units bring more than two-wheel-drive. Frame and mast straightness matter, since these machines take real abuse in the field.$6,000 – $38,000TelehandlerDieselA telescopic boom replaces the vertical mast, letting the machine place loads forward and up. Boom condition, hour meter, and attachment package drive value. Included carriages, buckets, and truss booms add real dollars.$8,000 – $55,000Electric Pallet JackElectricWalk-behind and rider electric pallet jacks are the entry point of powered material handling. Values are modest individually, which is why they make the most sense sold in groups. Battery and charger condition is most of the number.$400 – $6,500Walkie StackerElectricA walk-behind stacker bridges the gap between a pallet jack and a full counterbalance forklift. Mast height, battery health, and straddle configuration set the value. Straightforward machines that move quickly when priced right.$700 – $8,000Side Loader ForkliftDiesel or electricSide loaders carry long material sideways down narrow aisles, which makes them essential in steel service centres and lumber operations. A specialised machine with a smaller but motivated buyer pool, so the right unit brings a strong number.$9,000 – $60,000Multi-Directional ForkliftDiesel or electricWheels that rotate ninety degrees let these trucks travel sideways with a long load and then behave like a conventional forklift. Low production volumes keep used values high when the machine is sound.$12,000 – $70,000High Capacity ForkliftDieselAbove roughly fifteen thousand pounds, forklifts become purpose-built heavy machines with matching value. Engine and drivetrain health, mast condition, and attachment package drive the offer. Transport requires permits, which we arrange and pay for.$15,000 – $120,000Container HandlerDieselLoaded and empty container handlers and reach stackers sit at the top of the material handling market. Spreader condition, engine hours, and boom or mast structure determine value. These are individually appraised machines.$30,000 – $250,000LP / Propane ForkliftLiquid propanePropane trucks run indoors and outdoors, which is why they are the most common internal combustion forklift in America. Engine hours, whether it starts cold, and mast condition are the deciding factors. Include the tank if it goes with the truck.$3,000 – $24,000Diesel ForkliftDieselDiesel forklifts deliver the torque outdoor and heavy work demands and typically outlast their gas equivalents. Engine condition and blow-by, transmission behaviour, and hydraulic integrity are what we assess.$4,000 – $45,000Gas ForkliftGasolineGasoline forklifts are less common than LP or diesel in current fleets, which narrows the buyer pool somewhat. A clean, low-hour gas truck still brings a fair cash number, particularly in agricultural and seasonal operations.$2,500 – $16,000Forklift AttachmentsHydraulic / mechanicalPaper roll clamps, carton clamps, rotators, fork positioners, side shifters, drum handlers, jibs, and truss booms all carry independent value. Carriage class and hydraulic function are the key specs. We buy attachments with a truck or on their own.$300 – $18,000
Not sure which class yours is?
It does not matter. Send a photo of the data plate and one of the whole machine and we will identify it. The classification exists to help you find comparable values, not to gate the conversation. If your truck lifts pallets and it is not a skid steer or an excavator, we are almost certainly interested.
We also buy attachments separately — side shifters, fork positioners, rotators, carton clamps, and paper roll clamps all carry their own resale value.
