White Plains, NY
White Plains Who Buys Used Forklifts — Paid in Cash at Pickup
It is a fair question, and the answer depends on the condition of the machine. Here is the straight version. We work White Plains, NY regularly and combine it with stops in New Rochelle and Mount Vernon, 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 port and container terminal work 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 we buy in White Plains
Our scope is forklifts and the material handling equipment that lives beside them — nothing else. In White Plains and Westchester County that means narrow aisle, gasoline, pallet jack, electric counterbalance, reach truck, container handler, plus electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, order pickers, and telehandlers. If it lifts pallets, we are interested.
We buy every major nameplate: Raymond, Skyjack, JLG, Taylor, Crown, Big Joe, Doosan, Caterpillar, 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 White Plains are 20,000 lb, 4,000 lb, 10,000 lb, 50,000 lb and up. Searches like "who buys used forklifts near me" and "who buys old forklifts" 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) 740-1983The White Plains process, start to finish
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 White Plains.
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. If we are not the strongest buyer for your particular truck, we will tell you that instead of wasting your week.
Third, pickup and payment. We schedule transport at our cost, our driver loads it, and you are paid at the time of pickup. For White Plains that usually means a pickup window within a few business days, since we already run this corridor.

White Plains forklift values, explained honestly
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.
White Plains pickup logistics
We cover White Plains and roughly 73 miles around it, including New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Hempstead. 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
White Plains, NY forklift questions, answered
- Who buys used forklifts in White Plains?
- 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 White Plains is the same company that pays for it and hauls it away. Call (954) 740-1983 with the make, model, and hours.
- What does it cost to have a forklift picked up in White Plains?
- Nothing. We arrange and pay for rigging, loading, and transport out of White Plains ourselves. It is not deducted from your offer, and there are no commissions or listing fees at any point.
- How do I get paid for a forklift in White Plains?
- 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.
- Do you buy Doosan forklifts in White Plains?
- Yes — Doosan and every other major nameplate, including Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Raymond, Clark, Komatsu, CAT, Mitsubishi, and Doosan. Doosan evolved from Daewoo and has taken real share in the pneumatic and cushion market. Recent Doosans hold value better than most people expect.
- What information do you need to quote a forklift in White Plains?
- Make, model, year, hour meter reading, fuel type, lift capacity, mast type, and honest condition notes, plus photos of the four corners, the lowered mast, the data plate, and the hour meter. That is enough to price it accurately without a site visit.
- Do you buy forklifts in White Plains 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 White Plains is still worth a real number rather than a disposal fee.
- My forklift is on the second floor in White Plains. 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 multi-directional forklift in White Plains?
- Yes. Wheels that rotate ninety degrees let these trucks travel sideways with a long load and then behave like a conventional forklift. We buy them in White Plains at every grade, from turn-key to non-running, in the 5,000 – 15,000 lb range.
