Cash for used forklifts in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Cheyenne owners call us when a forklift has become a problem instead of a tool. Maybe it failed inspection, maybe the lease ended, maybe the building is being sold. Whatever the reason, we buy it in whatever condition it is in — running well, running badly, or not running at all — and we pay before the machine leaves your property.
Attachments are worth calling out separately. Side shifters, fork positioners, rotators, carton clamps, paper roll clamps and man baskets all add to the offer, and owners frequently forget to mention them.
What your forklift is worth in Cheyenne
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 Cheyenne.

How selling a forklift in Cheyenne 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 Cheyenne, WY
Cheyenne sits roughly 1,751 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 Cheyenne
We cover the whole Laramie area and the wider Wyoming market. If your machine sits in one of these towns, the process and the pricing are identical.
Forklift selling questions — Cheyenne
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 Wyoming 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.
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.
