Cash for used forklifts in Jersey City, New Jersey
If you have a forklift sitting in Jersey City that you no longer need, we will buy it outright. International Forklift Buyers is a direct cash buyer — not a broker, not a listing site, and not a consignment yard. You describe the machine, we give you a number, and if you take it we come and get it. Most owners in Hudson go from first phone call to money in hand inside a week.
We buy fleets as readily as single units. When a Jersey City warehouse closes we will take the whole floor: counterbalance trucks, reach trucks, walkie stackers, chargers, spare battery packs and attachments in one transaction, on one check, with one pickup window.
What your forklift is worth in Jersey City
Offers are built the same way in every market: capacity sets the bracket, condition places you inside it, then hours, brand, tire type and attachments fine-tune the number. The ranges below cover the machines we are called about most often in Jersey City.

How selling a forklift in Jersey City 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.
Pickup and transport from Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City sits roughly 1,072 miles from our base in Dania Beach, FL, and that distance does not change your offer. Freight is arranged and paid on our side and is already inside the number we quote. Nothing gets deducted after the fact.
For a standard counterbalance truck we send a tilt-bed or lowboy. High-capacity mill machines over 20,000 lb go out on a permitted load. You do not need a dock and you do not need the machine to drive — we bring winches, skates and forklifts capable of lifting a forklift when it comes to that.
Access gets surveyed from your photos before a truck is dispatched: door height, aisle width, whether the unit is behind racking, whether there is a ramp or a dock face. That is why our pickups usually take under an hour on site.

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.
Also buying around Jersey City
We cover the whole Hudson area and the wider New Jersey market. If your machine sits in one of these towns, the process and the pricing are identical.
Forklift selling questions — Jersey City
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.
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 New Jersey 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.
