01What we buy

If it lifts a load on forks, we are buying it

Most of our volume is 3,000 lb to 15,000 lb counterbalance iron — the sit-down trucks that do the work in warehouses, lumber yards and manufacturing plants. But the buying list is wider than that. Telehandlers and rough terrain units are among our highest-value purchases. Electric warehouse equipment — reach trucks, order pickers, walkie stackers, rider pallet jacks — moves quickly, and a healthy battery pack is often worth more than the truck carrying it.

Condition is priced, not judged. Around a third of the machines we buy will not start. A seized engine or a failed transmission lowers the number but never takes it to zero, because the mast, carriage, hydraulic pump, valve bank, drive axle and counterweight all have their own market, and the frame carries steel value underneath all of it. That is the difference between us and a scrapyard, which weighs the whole machine and pays by the ton.

Also on the list

Attachments and extras add real money: side shifters, fork positioners, rotators, carton and paper roll clamps, man baskets, spare forks, propane tanks, industrial chargers and spare battery packs. Owners forget to mention these constantly.

02Process

How the sale works

01
You send the basics
Brand, capacity off the data plate, hour meter reading, and whether it runs. Three photos help: full side view, the data plate, and the meter. Call or use the form — either works.
02
We price it the same day
Capacity, hours and condition set the range. Brand, tire type, mast height and attachments move it inside that range. You get a firm written number, normally within 24 hours.
03
You accept, we schedule
Pickup is typically two to seven business days out. We survey access from your photos first so the right truck and loading gear arrive the first time.
04
Paid on site, we haul it
Cash, certified check or same-day wire before the machine is loaded. Bill of sale is prepared by us. Transport is ours — it never comes off your number.

03Why sell to us

Four reasons owners take our number

We are the end buyer

Not a broker taking a percentage and not a dealer wanting a trade-in. We buy with our own money and take title, which is why we can commit to a number the same day.

Condition is not a disqualifier

Roughly a third of what we buy will not start. A dead engine lowers the number; it does not zero it out. Mast, carriage, hydraulics, drivetrain and frame steel all carry value.

Transport is on us

Quoted numbers already include freight. We bring the gear to load a machine with flat tires, a dead battery, or one parked behind racking.

Payment happens at pickup

Before the forklift leaves your property. No consignment, no waiting on resale, no retainage held back.

04By brand

Every brand, priced on its own merits

Brand does not decide whether we buy — it decides the number. Parts availability and buyer demand are what carry resale value, which is why a high-hour Toyota can outprice a low-hour machine from a brand nobody stocks parts for.

07Coverage

Buying in 101 cities across all 50 states

We are based in Dania Beach, FL, and we buy nationwide. Transport is arranged from our side and already priced into the offer, so a machine in rural Montana is quoted the same way as one twenty minutes from our yard.

08FAQ

Questions we get asked

Yes, and it is a large share of what we buy. Non-running units still carry value in the mast, carriage, transmission, hydraulic pump, counterweight and frame steel. We bring the equipment needed to load a dead machine at no cost to you. What we need to know is why it stopped — fuel, electrical, engine, transmission or hydraulic — because that changes the number.

A verbal number usually comes in the first phone call. A firm written offer follows within 24 hours of receiving photos, the hour meter reading and the data plate. Pickup is typically scheduled within two to seven business days depending on where in the United States you are and how many units are involved.

At pickup, before the machine is loaded. Cash, certified check or same-day wire — your choice. We do not do consignment, we do not pay after resale, and we do not hold a retainage. If the machine matches what you described, you are paid on site.

Neither. We buy with our own money and take title ourselves. Brokers list your machine and take a percentage when and if it sells. Dealers want a trade-in against a new purchase. We are the end buyer, which is why we can commit to a number the same day.

Three photos and two numbers. Photos: a full side view, the data plate, and the hour meter. Numbers: the hour reading and the capacity from the plate. Tell us any known faults up front — a disclosed problem is priced in, an undisclosed one gets found at pickup and slows everything down.

Both. Single machines are most of our volume. Fleets get handled as one transaction on one check with one pickup window, and larger groups are worth more per unit because our transport cost per machine falls.

All of them. Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Raymond, Caterpillar, Clark, Komatsu, Nissan and UniCarriers, Mitsubishi, Linde, Jungheinrich, Doosan, Hyundai, Taylor, Big Joe, Genie and SkyTrak. Brand affects the number but never whether we will buy it — obscure and orphaned brands still have core and steel value.

None. No inspection fee, no appraisal fee, no transport charge, no paperwork fee. If you accept our offer you are paid the full amount. If you decline, you owe nothing and we do not call you repeatedly.
