Do you have a used piggyback forklift that is no longer serving your operation? Forklift Exchange may be interested in purchasing it.
Whether you are replacing one truck-mounted forklift, updating an aging fleet, or clearing unused equipment from your yard, our experienced team can help you complete the sale. We understand specialized material-handling equipment and work with businesses throughout the United States.
Instead of allowing your equipment to take up valuable space, turn it into working capital with help from Forklift Exchange.
A piggyback forklift—also called a truck-mounted forklift—is a compact lift truck carried on the rear of a delivery vehicle. It allows drivers to load and unload materials at locations where a traditional forklift may not be available.
These machines are commonly used by companies delivering:
Because they are designed for frequent transport and demanding outdoor work, piggyback forklifts require specialized knowledge to evaluate properly. Forklift Exchange understands this equipment and the industries that depend on it.
Keeping equipment you no longer use can become expensive. Even an idle machine occupies space, requires occasional maintenance, and continues to lose value over time.
Selling your used piggyback forklift can help your business:
The sooner you evaluate an unused machine, the more options you may have. Age, operating hours, condition, configuration, and current market demand can all influence its value.
A truck-mounted forklift should not be evaluated like an ordinary warehouse lift. Its mounting system, operating environment, stability, reach, tires, mast, hours, and overall condition can all affect its marketability.
Our team works with forklifts and material-handling equipment every day. That experience helps us identify the details that matter when reviewing your machine.
The value of a used piggyback forklift depends on more than its year and model. Buyers must also consider its mechanical condition, maintenance history, hours, capacity, attachments, location, and current demand.
Provide us with accurate machine information and current photographs, and our team can review the equipment and determine whether it fits our buying needs.
You do not need an entire fleet to contact us. Forklift Exchange evaluates individual machines as well as multiple-unit packages.
We can assist businesses that are:
Tell us what you have, where it is located, and why you are selling. We will help identify the appropriate next step.
We are interested in learning about truck-mounted forklifts from leading manufacturers. This may include equipment from Moffett, Princeton, Loadmac, Manitou, and other recognized brands.
Different models serve different applications, so include as much information as possible when requesting an evaluation. Even if you are unsure whether your machine is a good fit, our team can review its specifications and condition.
Selling specialized industrial equipment involves more than agreeing on a price. Transportation, scheduling, documentation, and equipment access must also be considered.
Forklift Exchange has multiple locations and extensive experience moving material-handling equipment. Our team can help coordinate the transaction and explain what is needed at each stage.
The process begins with a few basic details about your machine.
Before contacting us, collect the following information if it is available:
A clear description helps our team evaluate the equipment more efficiently.
Photographs provide valuable information about the machine’s condition. Include clear images of:
Current, well-lit photographs can help reduce follow-up questions and make the initial review easier.
Visit our Sell to Us page and provide the requested machine information. Be honest about known problems, previous repairs, and the forklift’s present operating condition.
Our team will review the information and contact you if the equipment matches our current purchasing needs.
Several factors can influence the value of a used piggyback forklift:
Newer machines with reasonable operating hours generally attract more interest. However, age and hours should always be considered alongside maintenance and overall condition.
A machine that starts, runs, lifts, steers, and operates correctly is usually easier to place. Hydraulic leaks, engine problems, damaged components, or incomplete mounting hardware may affect its value.
Service records can show that the forklift has been maintained consistently. If you have invoices, inspection reports, or recent repair documentation, keep them available.
Demand varies among manufacturers and models. Capacity, reach, mounting configuration, parts availability, and suitability for common applications all influence buyer interest.
The forklift’s location can affect transportation costs and logistics. Include the exact city and state when requesting an evaluation.
Operators should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable workplace-safety requirements when using or preparing powered industrial equipment. The OSHA powered industrial truck resources provide additional general safety information.
A forklift that sits unused still occupies space and may continue to deteriorate. Batteries lose charge, seals age, tires develop problems, and exposure to weather can reduce a machine’s condition.
If you are considering a fleet change, it may be better to evaluate the equipment now instead of waiting until it needs additional repairs.
