Are the forklifts sold at auction new or used?

We sell both new and used forklifts at auction. Each item's product page will clearly state the forklift's condition alongside make, model, and weight. Forklifts are heavy machines, so don’t be put off a forklift if its second-hand.

What should I look out for when buying a forklift?

Look out for features related to the work the forklift will be doing. If you know what the forklift will be lifting, make sure to check out the lift capacity of the forklift. Think of other features like lift height, mast type, fuel type e.g. (electric, propane, diesel), tyre type and ergonomic features for operator’s comfort and safety.

Do I need special training operate a forklift?

Yes, operating a forklift in the UK requires specialised training and certification to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Forklift certifications are provided by private trainers.
