Equipment categories we buy
If it lifts a load on forks we are buying it. Most of our volume is counterbalance iron, but telehandlers are among our highest-value purchases and electric warehouse equipment moves fastest of all.

Questions we get asked
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.
Yes, and it is worth doing. Values move with scrap prices and container rates, so a current number helps you plan a replacement or budget a closure. We will give you the range with no follow-up pressure — call (954) 740-1983 or email mjindustrialsurplus@gmail.com.
We come to you. Transport is arranged and paid for by us, and it is already included in the number we quote — nothing is deducted afterward. For a standard counterbalance forklift we send a tilt-bed or a lowboy; for a 20,000 lb and up machine we arrange the permitted load. You do not need a loading dock and you do not need the unit to be running.
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.
