Who Buys Used Forklifts Near Me?

[Jonathan Gillispe]

Hey everyone,

I have an old forklift that I’m looking to sell, but I’m not sure where to start. Does anyone know of reliable buyers or companies that purchase used forklifts near me? Are there specific marketplaces, dealerships, or scrap yards that offer fair prices?

Also, what factors should I consider before selling—like pricing, condition, or required paperwork? Would love to hear any recommendations or experiences!

Thanks in advance!

Hey Jonathan, you might want to check with local equipment dealers or forklift rental companies—they sometimes buy used ones. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist can also be good for finding buyers. If it’s not in great shape, some scrap yards or parts resellers might still take it. Have you gotten any quotes yet?

Good call on checking with dealers and rental companies! You could also try Ritchie Bros. or Machinery Trader if you want to reach more serious buyers. If the forklift still runs well, setting a fair price based on hours used and condition can help attract the right buyer. If it’s a little rough, parting it out might get you more cash than selling it whole. Have you looked into what similar models are selling for in your area?
