What we look for in a used Nissan / UniCarriers
Reliable Japanese counterbalance units. The UniCarriers rebrand confuses sellers, so these are frequently underpriced — we pay on the iron, not the badge. Resale demand for this make sits at "moderate to high", 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 Nissan / UniCarriers 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 Nissan / UniCarriers models we handle include MCP1F2A25LV, CF80, PF50, MP1F2A25DV, TX40. 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 Nissan / UniCarriers forklift values
Below is a capacity-by-capacity range for running Nissan / UniCarriers 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.

Selling your Nissan / UniCarriers: 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.

Nissan / UniCarriers selling questions
Yes. We buy Nissan / UniCarriers units that run and units that do not. Demand for Nissan / UniCarriers cores is moderate to high, 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 MCP1F2A25LV, CF80, PF50, MP1F2A25DV and close relatives. That said, model number matters less than capacity, hours and condition — send those three and we can price almost any Nissan / UniCarriers built since the 1990s.
Reliable Japanese counterbalance units. The UniCarriers rebrand confuses sellers, so these are frequently underpriced — we pay on the iron, not the badge. Brand affects the number through parts availability and buyer confidence, not through badge appeal. Nissan / UniCarriers sits in the mid tier of the used market.
Capacity, hours and condition set the range, then brand and tire type move it inside that range. A 5,000 lb LP cushion truck that runs well typically lands between $3,200 and $12,000. The same machine not running is usually $900 to $3,600. High-capacity diesel units run far higher. Our value guide has the full table by capacity and condition grade.
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.
