What we look for in a used Linde

Hydrostatic drive makes Linde a favorite with operators but narrows the US buyer pool. Strong numbers if the transmission is healthy. Resale demand for this make sits at "moderate", 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 Linde 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 Linde models we handle include H25D, E30, H35T, H50D, R14. 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 Linde forklift values

Below is a capacity-by-capacity range for running Linde 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.

03Process

Selling your Linde: four steps

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

04Why sell to us

Four reasons owners take our number

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

Payment happens at pickup

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

07FAQ

Linde selling questions

Yes. We buy Linde units that run and units that do not. Demand for Linde cores is moderate, 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 H25D, E30, H35T, H50D and close relatives. That said, model number matters less than capacity, hours and condition — send those three and we can price almost any Linde built since the 1990s.

Hydrostatic drive makes Linde a favorite with operators but narrows the US buyer pool. Strong numbers if the transmission is healthy. Brand affects the number through parts availability and buyer confidence, not through badge appeal. Linde sits in the premium tier of the used market.

Yes. Good 24V, 36V, 48V and 80V industrial packs with usable capacity have real value, as do chargers and quality attachments. Send the pack's date code and voltage and whether it still holds a shift.

Because used forklifts are a national and export market, not a local one. Our buyers are dealers, rebuilders and overseas importers, so we are not limited to what a single the United States operator will pay this month. That is exactly why we can beat local scrap and local trade-in numbers.

In order: a bent or twisted mast, a cracked frame, flood or fire damage, and a blown transmission. Cosmetics barely matter — faded paint, dents and a torn seat cost very little. Straight steel and a running powertrain are what carry the number.

Yes. Where a scrapyard pays by the ton and stops there, we value the salvageable components first — mast, carriage, pump, valve bank, drive axle, counterweight — and add steel value underneath. That is normally several times a straight scrap ticket on the same machine.
