Wholesale forklifts

Forklifts at dealer pricing.

Auction-style, sold as-is, no warranty. This is for dealers and fleet buyers who know how to read a machine, not for a first forklift.

Read this part first.

We would rather lose the sale than have you find this out after the truck arrives.

  • Sold as-isNo warranty, expressed or implied. What you see is what arrives.
  • No reconditioningWe do not paint it, we do not detail it, and we do not fix the hydraulic leak first.
  • You inspect or you accept the riskCome look, send an inspector, or buy on the photos. All three are fine, but they are your call.
  • This is not retailIf you want a warranty, a PDI, and a service plan, buy from a dealer. That is a legitimate thing to want and we are not it.

How it works.

Four steps, and nothing hidden in the middle.

  1. Tell us what you are after

    Class, capacity, mast, fuel type, and how many. The tighter the spec, the better we can hunt.

  2. We source it

    Dealer auctions and fleet turn-ins. We pass the machine through at our cost plus a margin we will tell you.

  3. You see it before you commit

    Photos, hour meter, serial, and any known faults we are aware of.

  4. You arrange transport, or we help

    Most buyers have a hauler. If you do not, we will point you at one.

Wholesale forklifts questions.

The five that come up before someone buys.

Do these come with any warranty?

No. Wholesale is sold as-is, and we say that in every conversation before money moves. If you need a warranty you want a retail dealer, not this.

Can I inspect before buying?

Yes, and we encourage it. Come look, send your own inspector, or ask for more photos and the hour meter reading.

Do you deliver?

Most buyers arrange their own hauler because they have one. If you do not, tell us where it is going and we will help you find one.

How is this priced?

Dealer-auction cost plus a margin, and we will tell you what that margin is. Ask and you get a straight answer.

Is this related to the Smartlift rental business?

Same company, different business. The rental fleet is Smartlift vacuum lifters. This is wholesale iron for people in the trade.

Our other lines.

Iron Bay's main business is Smartlift rental across Florida. These sit alongside it.
