What we pay for used reach trucks
Yes, in quantity. Reach trucks are a core part of warehouse-closure buys — we will take the whole row including chargers and spare packs.
Pricing works the same way here as on any other machine: capacity sets the bracket, condition places you inside it, then hours, brand, mast or boom configuration and attachments fine-tune the result. Because these units are class ii and run on 24v / 36v battery, the buyer pool leans toward operators who need exactly this configuration, which is what carries the resale number.
Environment tells us a lot before we ever see the machine. Units that worked in narrow-aisle racking, 20 ft+ lift wear in predictable places, and we will ask about those specifically rather than making you guess what matters.

How the sale works
- 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.

Reach Trucks — questions
Yes — that is a core category for us. Yes, in quantity. Reach trucks are a core part of warehouse-closure buys — we will take the whole row including chargers and spare packs.
Capacity and condition set it. Stand-up narrow-aisle trucks that reach deep into racking. Raymond and Crown dominate, and distribution centers buy used ones constantly. Send the data plate capacity, the hour meter reading and whether it runs, and we will give you a firm range the same day.
Narrow-aisle racking, 20 ft+ lift. That matters to us because operating environment predicts wear — a machine that lived on smooth indoor concrete usually grades higher than an identical unit that worked outdoors on broken asphalt.
Yes, and they are among our highest-value purchases. Genie GTH, SkyTrak, JLG, CAT TL and Gehl units all sell well. On a telehandler we care about boom wear pads, frame and boom welds, hydraulic leaks and tire condition far more than the hour meter.
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.
