Cash for used forklifts across Florida
Selling a forklift in Florida is usually harder than it should be. Dealers want trade-ins, not purchases. Auctions take a commission and hold your money for weeks. Scrapyards weigh a $9,000 machine and offer you steel price. We are the fourth option: a buyer who writes a check on the spot and owns the trailer that hauls it away.
Batteries and chargers on electric units are often the most valuable part of the package. A healthy 48V pack with a matching charger can add thousands. Tell us the pack's age and whether it holds a full shift and we will price it properly.

Florida forklift values by capacity
Wholesale forklift values are national, not regional — our buyers are dealers, rebuilders and export brokers, so a machine in Florida is priced against the same market as one anywhere else. Capacity and condition do the heavy lifting.
| Capacity | Typical 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 a forklift in Florida: the process
- 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.

Florida forklift selling questions
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 Florida 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.
