Used Forklifts & Industrial Vehicles

Forklifts are the easiest entry point into used Japanese machinery. They are small enough to containerise, they hold their value, and Toyota alone has such a large domestic fleet that supply is steady rather than opportunistic.

What we handle

Sourcing to your capacity and mast specification, inspection, optional servicing, battery assessment on electric units, loading and export documentation. Because several units fit in one container, freight per machine falls sharply once you order more than one.

Choosing the power type

• Diesel. Outdoor yards and rough surfaces. Simplest to maintain and the most forgiving of fuel quality.
• LPG. Indoor use where exhaust matters. It needs a cylinder supply chain at the destination, so check that before committing.
• Electric. Quiet and clean, but the battery is the machine. A cheap electric forklift with a tired battery is not cheap. We report measured battery condition, not just age.

Practical notes

• Mast height decides the container count. A triplex full-free mast may need to be laid down or removed, which affects both freight cost and reassembly at your end.
• Attachments. Side shifters, fork positioners and rotators are common on Japanese units and are worth specifying up front rather than sourcing later.
• Parts. Toyota and Komatsu parts are available almost everywhere. Minor brands can be cheaper to buy and harder to keep running.

Tell us capacity, lift height, power type and how many units you want in the container, and we will put a shortlist together with photographs and hour meters.
