What we look for in a used Komatsu
Heavy, simple, and popular for export. Diesel Komatsus in the 15,000 lb and up class are worth calling us about specifically. Resale demand for this make sits at "moderate (strong export)", which is the single biggest brand-level input into your offer.
Capacity off the data plate is the first number we need, then the hour meter, then whether it starts and lifts. On a Komatsu those three facts put us within a few hundred dollars of a final offer before anyone drives anywhere. Tire type matters next — cushion or pneumatic — followed by mast stage count and free-lift, then any attachment hanging on the carriage.
Common Komatsu models we handle include FG25T, FG30ST, BX50, FD70, AX50. If yours is not on that list it does not matter; the pricing inputs are the same. Machines with service history are easier for us to place with rebuilders, and that shows up in the offer.
Used Komatsu forklift values
Below is a capacity-by-capacity range for running Komatsu units in average (grade B) condition. A machine in excellent shape with low hours can beat the top of these ranges; a non-runner typically lands at 25–45 percent of the low figure.
| Capacity | Komatsu offer range | Common application |
|---|---|---|
| 3,000 lb | $1,800 – $6,500 | Light warehouse, retail backroom, single-pallet work |
| 4,000 lb | $2,400 – $8,500 | General warehouse, light manufacturing |
| 5,000 lb | $3,200 – $12,000 | The default American warehouse forklift |
| 6,000 lb | $3,800 – $14,000 | Heavier pallets, lumber, building supply |
| 8,000 lb | $5,000 – $19,000 | Steel, masonry, container unloading |
| 10,000 lb | $6,500 – $24,000 | Heavy manufacturing, pipe, precast |
| 15,000 lb | $9,000 – $34,000 | Mills, marble, heavy fabrication |
| 16,000 lb | $9,500 – $36,000 | Lumber mills, coil handling |
| 20,000 lb | $12,000 – $48,000 | Ports, steel service centers, rail |
| 30,000 lb and up | $18,000 – $95,000 | Container handling, shipyards, heavy industry |
Selling your Komatsu: four steps
- 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.
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.
We buy every other brand too
Brand does not decide whether we buy. If your machine is not a name on this list — including orphaned and imported makes — we will still price it.

Komatsu selling questions
Yes. We buy Komatsu units that run and units that do not. Demand for Komatsu cores is moderate (strong export), so even a non-running machine carries real component value — mast, carriage, hydraulics, drivetrain and counterweight all resell separately.
The ones that cross our desk constantly are FG25T, FG30ST, BX50, FD70 and close relatives. That said, model number matters less than capacity, hours and condition — send those three and we can price almost any Komatsu built since the 1990s.
Heavy, simple, and popular for export. Diesel Komatsus in the 15,000 lb and up class are worth calling us about specifically. Brand affects the number through parts availability and buyer confidence, not through badge appeal. Komatsu sits in the mid tier of the used market.
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.
Almost never. Repairs rarely return their cost at wholesale — a $2,800 transmission job might add $1,500 to the offer. Two exceptions are worth it: charge or replace a dead battery on an electric unit, and air up flat tires so the machine can be moved. Otherwise sell it as it sits and let us price the fault.
