Forklifts we buy

A forklift does not need to be running, recently serviced or complete for us to consider it. We assess individual machines, mixed fleets and surplus equipment.

All brands, ages and lifting capacities are considered. The machine's details and location help us determine the practical next step.

No showroom standard required

Sell it in its current condition

Repairs can become difficult to justify when hours are high, parts are obsolete or a damaged machine is occupying useful floor space. Let us assess it before you spend more.

Not sure how to describe the fault? Call us. Make, model, location and a quick explanation are enough to start.

  • Damaged or accident affected
  • Mechanical or hydraulic faults
  • Non-running or difficult to start
  • Fire or flood affected
  • High-hour or uneconomical to repair
  • Obsolete, surplus, or long-stored
  • Scrap, incomplete, or dismantled

    Arrange pickup

    If you accept, we confirm payment, paperwork and a suitable collection time, subject to safe machinery access.

Why sellers call VIC Trucks Buyer

An exit plan for equipment you no longer need

Whether one damaged forklift is blocking a workshop bay or a fleet change has left surplus machines behind, we keep the conversation focused on the equipment and a workable pickup.

Straightforward assessment

Your quote is based on the forklift details you provide, including its condition, location and recovery needs.

Machinery recovery experience

We plan collection around the machine and site, with pickup available by arrangement across Victoria.

Faulty machines considered

Mechanical, hydraulic and electrical problems do not automatically make a forklift unsaleable.

Responsible next use

Usable equipment and components can be recovered before remaining materials are directed toward recycling.

Melbourne base, Victorian reach

Forklift pickup across Melbourne and statewide

Our team is based at 5 John St, Dandenong VIC 3175. We can arrange machinery pickup across greater Melbourne and regional Victoria, depending on the forklift, location and safe site access.

Seller questions

Forklift sale FAQ

These are the details sellers most often need before requesting an assessment or arranging collection.

What types of forklifts do you buy?

We buy counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, pallet trucks, order pickers, side loaders, rough-terrain forklifts, telehandlers, and most electric, LPG, petrol, or diesel machines.

Do you buy forklifts that no longer run?

Yes. We assess non-running, mechanically faulty, accident-damaged, fire-affected, flood-affected, incomplete, and scrap forklifts.

What details do you need for a forklift quote?

Send the make, model, fuel type, approximate hours, condition, and pickup suburb. Photos help us assess damage and access requirements more accurately.

Can you collect a forklift outside Melbourne?

Yes. We arrange forklift pickup across Melbourne and throughout Victoria, subject to the machine, location, and safe site access.

Will you buy an incomplete or dismantled forklift?

Yes. Missing parts do not automatically rule out a purchase. Tell us what remains and whether the forklift can roll, steer, or be accessed by recovery equipment.

How do pickup and payment work?

After you accept our offer, we confirm the pickup details, access requirements, paperwork, and payment arrangement before collection.
