We buy retired, non-functional, and end-of-service forklifts across BC — electric, propane, and diesel — and arrange removal with minimal warehouse disruption. Multi-unit fleet clearouts coordinated in a single visit. Cash offers based on lift type, capacity class, and completeness.
Electric vs. Propane vs. Diesel Forklifts — Pricing Differences
Electric forklifts contain battery banks — lead-acid units carry significant scrap weight; intact lithium-ion packs can have resale value. Propane-powered forklifts are valued on their drivetrain components, mast assembly, and structural steel weight. Internal combustion diesel forklifts are typically the heaviest and command the strongest scrap prices by weight. Brand matters less than type, capacity class, and completeness. Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, Yale, and Caterpillar are all common in our purchases — but an unbranded unit of the same type and weight is assessed on equal terms.
Minimal Warehouse Disruption
Warehouse operations don't pause for an equipment removal, and we don't expect them to. We coordinate pickup timing with facility managers, typically scheduling during off-hours, early morning shifts, or planned downtime. Our team uses a small operational forklift or pallet jack to move non-functional units to a loading dock or accessible exit before loading onto the flatbed. For full fleet clearouts, we arrange a single multi-unit visit to minimize the number of operational interruptions. We follow all BC industrial safety requirements on-site and require facility contact confirmation before any visit.
