How to sell a Forklift across QLD
Get a current annual inspection
An annual inspection certificate from a licensed inspector dramatically expands your buyer pool and supports your asking price.
Service the machine and document it
Fresh LPG service or battery service for electric forklifts, plus a hose and mast chain inspection, signals good maintenance.
Post to industrial buyers on GOT ONE?
Buyers specify capacity, fuel type and mast requirements. Match your forklift's specifications to active requests.
Demonstrate safely
Allow the buyer to inspect at your site with the machine operating. Lift to full height, test the hydraulics and demonstrate any attachments.
