Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a forklift cost?

  The cost of a forklift can vary widely depending on whether you’re buying new or used, the type of equipment, and the lifting capacity you need. For example:

  • New forklifts generally range from around $15,000 through to $100,000+. These include everything from smaller electric warehouse units through to heavy-duty diesel or high-reach models.
  • Used forklifts are often 25%–50% less than new, depending on age, hours of use, and condition. Certified used models can offer excellent value for businesses that don’t need the latest features.

  Here’s a general guide:

  • Electric pallet jacks & walkie stackers
    • from $3,500–$12,000 new (used units from around $2,000).
  • Standard counterbalance forklifts (2–4t, electric or LPG)
    • around $20,000–$45,000 new, with quality used machines starting closer to $10,000.
  • Diesel forklifts (mid capacity)
    • often $40,000–$60,000 new; used models may be $18,000–$30,000.
  • Reach trucks & narrow-aisle forklifts
    • $25,000–$60,000 new, with used options from $10,000+.
  • Rough-terrain or heavy-duty forklifts
    • typically $60,000–$100,000+ new, with used machines from $25,000+.

• What are the advantages of buying a new forklift over a used one?

  Buying new gives you peace of mind. You’ll receive the latest technology, safety features, and efficiency gains, along with a full manufacturer’s warranty.

  New forklifts also have a much longer service life before major maintenance is required, making them a reliable investment for businesses with heavy or ongoing workloads. If uptime and dependability are critical, a new machine usually pays for itself in reduced downtime and lower servicing costs.

• Are attachments or accessories (e.g. sideshifters, rotators) available?

  Yes. New forklifts can be customised with a wide range of attachments and accessories to suit your operation, such as:

  • Sideshifters and fork positioners
  • Rotators and clamps
  • High-capacity forks
  • Safety cages and extensions

  When you’re buying new, we can supply and install these from the start, so your forklift is ready to go for your specific tasks.

• What training or operator certification is needed after purchase?

  In Australia, anyone operating a forklift must hold a High Risk Work Licence (LF or LO class). This is a nationally recognised qualification that ensures operators are trained in safe forklift use.

• Can you ship to remote or regional areas?

  Yes. Although we’re based in Queensland, we arrange Australia-wide delivery, including regional and remote locations. Our logistics team will coordinate transport so your forklift arrives safely, and we’ll make sure it’s delivered in a way that suits your site access and schedule.
