Nationwide · Forklifts only
Surplus Forklift BuyersPaid in cash, picked up free
Idle and surplus lift trucks converted to cash without a listing. We buy forklifts and forklift-adjacent material handling equipment only — that focus is exactly why we can price a lift truck accurately and pay more than a general used-equipment dealer.

What surplus forklift buyers means when you deal with us
Most sellers searching for surplus forklift buyers have already discovered the problem with the alternatives. A classified listing means fielding calls from tyre-kickers for weeks. An auction means paying a seller's premium and accepting whatever the room decides on the day. A broker means a commission carved out of your number. We are the buyer, not the middleman, so the figure we quote is the figure you are paid.
We work every state in the country. Send the make, model, year, hour meter, fuel type, capacity, mast configuration, and honest condition notes, plus photos of the four corners and the data plate. That is enough for a firm number within 24 hours. If you accept, we schedule rigging and transport at our cost and pay you when the truck is loaded.

How it works
Four steps from photos to cash
Send the specs
Make, model, year, hours, fuel type, capacity, and mast. Photos of the four corners, the mast, and the data plate. Call it in or use the form.
Get a cash offer in 24 hours
We price against live wholesale and auction data, not a guess. You get a real number, in writing, usually the same day.
We pick it up and pay
We schedule the rigging and transport at our cost and you are paid at the time of pickup. No fees taken out of the number.
Why sell to us
Direct buyer, not a broker
Why Sell To Us
Four reasons sellers stop shopping and just call
No listing, no waiting
You are not posting an ad and hoping. You are selling directly to the buyer who writes the check.
No commissions, no fees
Brokers take a cut of your sale price. We are not brokers. The number we quote is the number you receive.
Cash offer within 24 hours
Send the specs and photos today and you will have a real number back inside one business day, usually much sooner.
We handle the pickup
Rigging, loading, and transport are ours to arrange and ours to pay for. You do not rent a forklift to load a forklift.
Questions
Common questions
- Can you buy a walkie stacker forklift in Florida?
- Yes. A walk-behind stacker bridges the gap between a pallet jack and a full counterbalance forklift. We buy them in Florida at every grade, from turn-key to non-running, in the 2,000 – 4,000 lb range.
- How much is my forklift worth in Florida?
- Most units in this market fall between $12,000 and $75,000 for a 20,000 lb class truck, with hours, mast condition, powertrain, and battery health deciding where yours lands. We will give you a firm number for your specific machine inside 24 hours.
- My forklift is on the second floor in Florida. 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.
- Do you buy more than one forklift at a time in Florida?
- Fleet lots are where we are most competitive, because one trip to Florida 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.
- How do I get paid for a forklift in Florida?
- At pickup, when the truck is loaded — not net-30 and not on a check that clears next month. The amount is exactly what we quoted, with nothing withheld for freight, rigging, or fees.
- Is there any obligation once I get an offer in Florida?
- 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 Florida, take the better one.
