Forklifts For Sale Birmingham

When it comes to buying a used forklift, it is essential that you do so from a trusted and reputable supplier such as us. At Acclaim Handling, we thoroughly inspect, service, and safety-check every second-hand forklift before it’s made available for sale.

This includes a full mechanical assessment, checks on lifting mechanisms, brakes, hydraulics, and electrical systems, as well as a detailed examination of the mast and forks for signs of wear or damage.

Additionally, our used forklifts are supplied with a warranty for added peace of mind, full service histories wherever available, and access to comprehensive after-sales support.

The main differences between buying a new and a second-hand forklift mainly lie in the cost of the machine, the length of the warranty you’ll get, and the available features. With a new forklift, you will enjoy a full manufacturer’s warranty (with the option to extend it) and the latest technology, though this naturally comes with a higher upfront cost.

Second-hand forklifts, on the other hand, are a more cost-effective way of acquiring vital equipment to fulfil your day-to-day operations. Although the machine will cost you less to purchase, you need to consider the fact that the warranty you’ll get will be for a more limited time, and the machine may show signs of previous use.

Yes, you can. If you don’t want to purchase a machine outright, you can do so through a lease-purchase agreement. This agreement typically lasts anywhere from one to five years and will allow you to purchase vital equipment while paying for it in manageable monthly installments.

All new forklifts come with a full manufacturer’s warranty, which typically lasts anywhere from 12 to 36 months. Please keep in mind that getting an extended warranty is often an option, with some manufacturers offering coverage extensions of up to 5 years.

As far as used forklifts are concerned, the warranty on each machine varies from 1 to 12 months, depending on the forklift’s age, total hours used, and the customer’s budget.

Our lead time on new forklifts in Birmingham is around eight weeks. With that being said, we regularly have over 50+ new machines in stock at any one time, so if we have the forklift you’re interested in readily available, we can arrange for it to be delivered to your site much sooner.

Yes, we offer flexible trade-in services for businesses who are looking to upgrade or replace their existing forklifts. If you have a forklift that no longer meets your operational needs, has become unreliable, or is beyond economical repair, you can part exchange it against a new or refurbished machine from our stock.

We’ll consider all makes, models, and conditions - everything has a value. Whether you have a single redundant forklift or multiple unused machines, our team will assess their market value fairly by taking into account the age, condition, and specifications of each machine.
