Forklifts are the backbone of warehouse and material handling operations across Australia, one of the best machines to find a great deal on the second-hand market. Designed to move, lift and stack heavy loads with ease, they come in a wide range of types including electric, LPG, and diesel models. Whether for indoor aisles or rugged outdoor yards, forklifts are a reliable choice for keeping goods moving efficiently.
What type of forklift should I buy for my business?
It depends on your operating environment. Electric forklifts are best for indoor use, diesel or LPG models suit outdoor and heavy-duty tasks. Narrow aisles? Go with a reach truck or walkie stacker.
Are used forklifts a good investment?
Yes, used forklifts can offer great value if they've been well maintained. Many Machines4U listings include service records and safety compliance checks, which gives you peace of mind in your online purchase.
What lifting capacity do I need?
Choose a forklift that exceeds your heaviest regular load. Common models in Australia lift 1.5 to 3 tonnes, while high-capacity forklifts handle up to 16 tonnes or more.
Can I find forklifts with attachments included?
Absolutely. Many listings on Machines4U include attachments like side-shift, fork positioners, clamps or rotators, helping you handle specialised loads efficiently. Contact the seller direct for more info on inclusions.
