Sell your used forklift
We buy used forklifts: diesel, LPG, electric and rough-terrain. One truck or several from a warehouse or yard. You receive a fair price with an explanation and decide for yourself.
- Diesel, LPG, electric and rough-terrain
- One forklift or a whole fleet
- Direct contact with the buyer
We will review your details and contact you.
Forklifts we buy
Forklifts are often replaced long before they are worn out. A warehouse switches to electric trucks, a lease contract ends, a company moves or a farm no longer needs the yard forklift. A used forklift in reasonable condition is still useful to many businesses, and we buy them for that reason.
We buy counterbalance forklifts with diesel, LPG and electric drive, as well as rough-terrain forklifts for farms, building sites and timber yards. Common makes include Toyota, Linde, Still, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Yale, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Doosan, Clark, Caterpillar and Manitou. We buy single trucks as well as several at once, for example when a business is closing or replacing its fleet.
What we look at on a forklift
The mast is the heart of a forklift. We look at the chains, the rollers and the mast channels for wear, check that the mast lifts and lowers smoothly without jerking, and check the tilt cylinders for leaks. The forks themselves must not be bent or worn too thin at the heel. We also note the lift height and the type of mast: a duplex or triplex mast with free lift is more versatile than a simple standard mast.
Capacity and lift height determine who the next user can be. A 2.5-tonne truck with a four-metre mast suits most warehouses and yards, while heavier or taller trucks have a smaller but specific market. We take that into account and tell you how it affects the price.
For a combustion forklift we check the engine, the transmission and the brakes. For an electric forklift the battery is often the deciding factor: a battery at the end of its life is a significant cost, so its age and condition weigh heavily in the price. A side shift, fork positioner, extra hydraulic functions and a cab make a forklift more attractive to the next user.
How selling your forklift works
You contact us via the form, by phone or by WhatsApp. Name, phone and email is enough to start. We ask about the type, year, hours, lift capacity and lift height, and you send photos of the mast, forks, tyres and hour meter if you can. A short video of the mast lifting under load says a lot.
Based on that information, you receive a price indication and we tell you what determined it. If you have several forklifts, we look at each one and give you a clear overview per truck. If you agree, we arrange payment, the purchase agreement or invoice and the handover together, and we can arrange transport in consultation. We buy from private sellers as well as businesses. A visit to us in Wenum Wiesel is possible by appointment.
An expired inspection or a defect
An expired inspection or a known defect does not mean we are not interested. We take it into account in the price and tell you how. Be open about problems such as a leaking cylinder, a slipping transmission or a battery that no longer holds its charge. That way the price indication is realistic and there are no surprises at the handover.
Selling a forklift from abroad
We also buy from owners and businesses outside the Netherlands. The steps are the same: contact, photos and details, a price indication. If you want to go ahead, we agree the handover and the paperwork together, including how the invoice is drawn up for a sale between two countries. How the forklift travels is part of that conversation; we can arrange transport in consultation.
