Cash for Forklifts in the Lower Mainland
That unused forklift may still have value. We offer cash for forklifts from warehouses, yards and commercial properties across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Whether yours is retired, damaged or no longer running, send us the details for an offer based on its condition and pickup requirements.
We buy junk forklifts, scrap forklifts, old forklifts, damaged forklifts, non-running forklifts and used forklifts. Electric, propane, diesel or gas—if it is broken, retired or simply in the way, we'd rather make you an offer than watch it gather dust.

Forklifts We Buy
From retired warehouse equipment to end-of-life industrial machines, we buy virtually all types of material-handling equipment. Here is what we commonly take on.
Electric forklifts
Warehouse electric trucks with dead or ageing traction batteries are some of the most common units we buy.
Propane forklifts
LPG counterbalance trucks retired after high hours or repeated fuel-system and engine repairs.
Diesel forklifts
Heavy outdoor and yard diesels with engine, transmission or mast wear from years of service.
Gas forklifts
Gasoline-powered units replaced during fleet upgrades or set aside after mechanical failure.
Counterbalance forklifts
Standard front-loading trucks in any power type, from compact warehouse units to large outdoor machines.
Reach trucks
Narrow-aisle electric reach trucks with masts, electronics or batteries that no longer justify repair.
Order pickers
High-level order pickers and man-up trucks retired with platform, control or battery issues.
Pallet stackers
Walkie stackers and pallet jacks that have stopped running or been replaced by newer equipment.
Warehouse forklifts
Any material-handling truck sitting idle in an aisle, dock area or storage bay.
Rough-terrain forklifts
Rough-terrain units with worn tyres, drivetrain or hydraulic problems from outdoor use.
Telehandlers
Compact and large-frame telehandlers removed from yards, construction sites and rental returns.
Heavy-duty forklifts
Large-capacity industrial forklifts and container handlers retired from ports and heavy industry.
Non-running forklifts
Machines that will not start, steer or move—access and photos are usually enough to begin.
Damaged forklifts
Accident damage, bent masts, broken forks and collision repairs that no longer make sense.
Scrap forklifts
End-of-life equipment destined for parts recovery and metal recycling rather than resale.
Older and high-hour forklifts
Age alone does not rule a unit out; completeness, size and pickup logistics matter more.

Common Reasons to Sell a Forklift
Most calls start with a machine that has become difficult to store, repair or move. If any of these sound familiar, we can help.
It hasn't run in years
Seized components, flat tyres and unknown mechanical problems are normal for us.
The battery isn't worth replacing
A failed traction battery can end an electric forklift's working life. We still review the whole unit.
Repairs cost more than the truck
Transmission, hydraulic, mast or engine work that exceeds the machine's value gives you another option.
You've upgraded the fleet
Surplus and replaced units take up useful floor space—we buy usable machines too.
The warehouse needs the space
Clear-outs and closures often involve several retired forklifts on a deadline.
There's hydraulic or mast damage
Leaking cylinders, dropped chains and bent masts are common reasons to sell.
It was in an accident
Collision damage, broken forks and body damage do not automatically rule a unit out.
You're relocating or closing
Business moves and warehouse closures leave behind equipment that has to go.
A forklift is not something most businesses can load into a pickup truck. Weight, access, steering and floor conditions all matter. Tell us where the unit is sitting and we'll review the practical pickup requirements.

Forklift Removal FAQ
Do you buy forklifts that don't run?
Yes. Tell us what happened, whether it rolls and steers, and where it is parked. Access details help us plan the right pickup equipment for a non-running machine.
What is my scrap forklift worth?
Value depends on weight, type, completeness, condition, location, access and current recovery options. A few clear photos produce a far more useful quote than a generic scrap estimate.
Do you remove forklifts from inside warehouses?
Often, yes. Door height, aisle width, floor condition and loading access all matter, so include a few photos of the route out and we'll review whether it's practical.
Do you buy electric forklifts with dead batteries?
Yes. A failed traction battery does not automatically make an electric forklift worthless. Send photos of the truck and battery compartment if it is safe to do so.
Can you remove a forklift that hasn't moved in years?
Yes. Seized components, flat tyres and unknown mechanical problems are common for us. Tell us whether it rolls or steers and don't try to force it to move.
Do you buy damaged forklifts?
Yes. We consider accident damage, hydraulic trouble, broken masts, worn tyres, missing parts and major mechanical defects.
What forklift brands do you buy?
We buy virtually all makes, from Toyota, Hyster, Yale and Crown to Raymond, CAT, Komatsu, Linde and less common brands. If you don't see yours listed, contact us.
What information do you need to give me a quote?
Send the make, model, approximate year, power type, running condition, known problems, city, access notes and several clear photos. The more we can see, the better the quote.
Can you pick up multiple forklifts?
Yes. Businesses can submit surplus fleets or several retired machines. List each unit and include both group and individual photos.
Do you buy forklifts outside Vancouver?
Yes. We review pickups across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Delta, Langley, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford.
Do you buy very old forklifts?
Yes. Age alone does not rule a forklift out. Completeness, size, condition and pickup logistics matter more than the year.
Can you remove a forklift if I don't have loading equipment?
Often, yes. Tell us what access you have—dock, flatbed height, ramp or none at all—and we'll plan the loading. Photos of the surrounding space help us figure out the right approach.
