Used Fork TruckFort Wayne desk

For warehouse leads, plant managers, and contractors

A used forklift, matched and priced before you meet the yard.

One request. One vetted dealer. A truck walked against the book.

When the week is real, the job is a reliable used forklift without overpaying and without a lemon. You get one dealer on a state seat, a written grade, and a price set against the book. Asking this desk is free.

Buyer path

Request, source, inspect, introduce.

  1. 01

    Request

    Capacity, fuel, mast, hours ceiling, ZIP, the week you need it, and a budget band. A request without a ZIP does not go to a yard. You do not pay this desk to ask.

  2. 02

    Desk sources

    The seat holder in that state gets four business hours of first look. If they pass, one backup. Then we tell you nobody honest has it.

  3. 03

    Inspection and price check

    A is cleared in writing. B is work ready, priced inside the band. C is a project with the defects named. The number sits against the price book.

  4. 04

    Intro and close

    You meet one yard and you pay that yard for the truck. Fleet fees are written on a separate note before any introduction.

A short story

How a file moves when the week is named.

A second-shift dock needed a 5,000 lb cushion LP before the line changed. The request named capacity, fuel, mast, an hours ceiling under 8,000, the ZIP, and the week. The seat holder in that state had four business hours. The truck that came back was graded B: honest wear, mast photos in the file, price inside the book for that class ($11,500 to $22,000). The buyer paid the yard. The desk did not sell the iron, and the buyer did not pay the desk to ask.

A composite of the desk's path, not a customer report. See the example scenarios for the same idea with the fees written out.

Buy

One shortlist, not twelve callbacks.

Capacity, fuel, hours ceiling, zip, and a real week. We hand it to one yard.

Sell

A screen range the same day. A bid if the photos hold.

Year, hours, and a grade. Then four photos if you want a dealer on it.

Fleet

Three trucks or thirty. Quoted before anyone is introduced.

Replacement programs are placement work, not a $195 lead.

Desk grade

We grade the iron before we introduce anyone.

  • A · Cleared. Hour meter, mast, hydraulics, and power in writing. Photos match the serial.
  • B · Work ready. Honest wear. Priced inside the band. No story about a fresh engine with no invoice.
  • C · Project. Named defects. Priced as a project. We do not call it rent-ready.

Example scenarios

Five ways a file can look.

These illustrate how the desk works. They are not client testimonials.

For yards

The morning paper is unsold in your state.

First ten buyer introductions are free, so you can judge the paper. After that a state seat is $1,250 a month. Seller introductions are $295, because that is iron you can buy. Fleet files are quoted, not dumped into a seat.

Dealer and seller path

Seat, qualify, price, introduce.

  1. 01

    Seat or screen

    A yard asks for the first ten buyer files in one state. A seller sends year, hours, and a grade. The screen comes back the same day.

  2. 02

    Qualify the paper

    Photos and the serial before a dealer is introduced on a seller file. Buyer files need a real week and a ZIP. Fleets are quoted, not dumped into a seat.

  3. 03

    Price against the book

    The range starts from the public band and moves for year, hours, grade, and whether the power is known. It is a screen, not an appraisal and not a bid.

  4. 04

    Introduce

    One dealer gets four hours on a buyer request. A seller introduction is $295 when the paper is real. A fleet is quoted in writing, and it is not a $195 lead.
