Scrap Forklift Buyers in Yuma, Arizona
A forklift that will not start is not worthless. The mast, counterweight, transmission, and steel all carry value. We work Yuma, AZ regularly and combine it with stops in Lake Havasu City and Buckeye, 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 manufacturing and fabrication 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.

What qualifies in Yuma
Our scope is forklifts and the material handling equipment that lives beside them — nothing else. In Yuma and Yuma County that means gasoline, stand-up rider, diesel, side loader, telehandler, lp / propane, plus electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, order pickers, and telehandlers. If it lifts pallets, we are interested.
We buy every major nameplate: Linde, Jungheinrich, Genie, Combilift, Doosan, Toyota, Clark, Yale, 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 Yuma are 8,000 lb, 15,000 lb, 30,000 lb, 6,000 lb. Searches like "scrap forklift value" and "broken forklift buyers" 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) 740-1983Three steps from specs to cash in Yuma
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 Yuma.
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 We do not quote high to win the call and then re-negotiate at the dock.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 Yuma that usually means a pickup window within a few business days, since we already run this corridor.

How we price a Yuma forklift
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.
Pickup and transport in Yuma
We cover Yuma and roughly 80 miles around it, including Lake Havasu City, Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale. 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.
If the machine is genuinely dead, removal and payment happen in the same visit. You end up with a clear floor and money, instead of a disposal invoice.

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 |
