New vs Used Forklifts - Which is Right for You?

Choosing between a new and a used forklift is an important decision and one that will have an impact on your business’s budget, operations, and long-term maintenance requirements. To help you make the right choice, here’s a quick overview of what each option can offer:

  • New forklifts are ideal if you require the latest technology, maximum warranty coverage, and consistent long-term performance. This does come at the cost of paying a higher upfront cost compared to a used machine.
  • Used forklifts, on the other hand, offer excellent value, particularly for businesses looking to expand their fleet without stretching their budget. For your peace of mind, every used machine we sell undergoes a full inspection and servicing before it’s listed for sale.

The good news is that whichever route you take, you’ll benefit from our expert support and reliable after-sales service. And remember, if you’re struggling to make a decision, please contact us, and our team will happily walk you through your options and help you choose the right forklift for your operations.

Choosing the right forklift for your business isn’t just about picking a machine. It’s about finding a reliable and cost-effective solution that fits your day-to-day operations. When it comes to buying a forklift truck for sale in London, here are the key things to keep in mind:

  • The type of fuel that is most suitable for your site (electric, diesel, or LPG)

  • The forklift’s reliability and service history (when buying a pre-owned model)
  • The availability of parts and servicing support post-purchase
  • The finance and payment options available

Frequently Asked Questions About Forklifts for Sale in London

The price of a used forklift in London can vary depending on several factors, including the make, model, age, lift capacity, fuel type, mast height, and overall condition of the machine.

To find out the exact price of a forklift, either contact our team directly or submit an enquiry through our website, and our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

The main differences between a new and a second-hand forklift lie in their cost, warranty coverage, and available features. When you buy a new forklift, you’ll get access to the latest technologies, a full manufacturer’s warranty, and you can be sure that the machine has never been used before.

Second-hand forklifts, on the other hand, offer a cost-effective way to acquire reliable and well-maintained machines at a fraction of the cost. Despite the initial cost benefit of buying a second-hand forklift, pre-owned forklifts come with shorter warranties and may not include the latest features or technology that can be found in newer models.

Absolutely. If you’re not prepared to buy a forklift outright, you can do so through a lease-purchase agreement. That way, you can spread the cost of the machine over a flexible period (typically ranging from 1 to 5 years). And once the term of the agreement comes to an end, the forklift will be yours to keep.

At our depot in London, we stock a large range of forklift models to suit different industries and working environments. When you browse through this page, you’ll come across a variety of electric, diesel, and LPG (gas) forklifts.

Within each of these three categories, you’ll find forklift trucks with various lifting capacities, mast heights, and configurations ranging from compact three-wheel models to heavy-duty machines capable of lifting up to 25,000kg.

At Acclaim Handling, every second-hand forklift undergoes a comprehensive mechanical inspection before being listed for sale. During the inspection, our qualified engineers check all major components, including the mast, hydraulics, brakes, tyres, forks, and steering, for safety, wear, and operational reliability.

Once the forklift has passed the initial inspection, the machine will get fully serviced, tested under load, and supplied with warranty cover for added reassurance.

Yes, we do. No matter what forklift you buy from us or where your site is located in London, we will arrange a prompt and reliable delivery right to your site at a time and date that works for you.

Each of our used forklifts for sale in London comes with a one to 12-month warranty, depending on the age and the number of hours the forklift has been used. If you already know the exact forklift you want to buy from us and would like to find out more about the warranty you’ll get, contact us, and our team will confirm the specific warranty terms for that machine.

If we have the forklift you’d like to buy in stock, delivery can often be arranged quickly. However, if you are looking to buy a forklift that we don’t have readily available, the average lead time is approximately eight weeks.

Not at all. We have eight depots all over England, some of which are in key cities like Liverpool, Birmingham, Portsmouth, and Norwich. If you are interested in buying a forklift from us outside of London, be sure to learn more about our forklifts for sale nationwide.
