Local Support With Genuine Expertise
The signs are usually obvious in hindsight: two people waiting on the same machine, work stacking up at the dock, a whole day lost when it goes in for service. If any of those sound familiar, the answer is often not a bigger forklift but a second, smaller one that takes the routine work off the main unit. Tell us what your machine spends its day doing and we will work out whether splitting the job is cheaper than upgrading it.
Buy A Fork also holds replacement parts for most major forklift brands, which keeps downtime short when something fails mid-shift.

Buy A Fork offers Craigieburn businesses a wide selection of new and used forklifts suited to different industries, so you can match the machine to your workflow and budget.
Best when exact specifications matter
A new forklift suits intensive daily use, precise configuration needs or businesses that prefer equipment with no previous operating history.
- Suitable for planned long-term use
- Easier to specify for a particular site
- Latest safety and comfort features
Lower initial cost with the right checks
A quality used forklift suits moderate workloads, urgent replacement needs or businesses adding fleet capacity without buying new.
- Detailed inspection and performance check on every unit
- Proven brands recognised for reliability
- Minimum 6-month warranty on pre-owned stock
Why Craigieburn Businesses Choose Buy A Fork
Craigieburn buyers often weigh a private sale against a dealer, and the price gap looks bigger than it is. The difference is what comes with the machine: inspection, service history, documentation and someone to call when something goes wrong.
Mechanical and safety inspections
Technicians assess mechanical components, lifting systems, safety features and overall condition to confirm each machine is ready for reliable daily operation before it reaches the floor.
Compliance with Australian standards
All forklifts supplied meet the required Australian regulations for professional use in industrial, warehousing and distribution environments.
Transparent service reports
Clear information on each machine's maintenance history, repairs and operating hours, so you know how it was treated before you buy rather than after.
Someone to call afterwards
A private sale ends the moment the money changes hands. Buying through us means the machine has been inspected before delivery, comes with its documentation, and there is a workshop behind it if something needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Forklift in Craigieburn
Do you deliver forklifts to Craigieburn?
Yes. We deliver to Craigieburn and the surrounding northern areas including Somerton, Campbellfield, Epping, Roxburgh Park and Mickleham from our Somerton yard.
Is delivery to Craigieburn free?
For most addresses, yes. Free local delivery applies within 10km of Somerton and most of Craigieburn sits inside that radius, so check your exact address with us.
Is it cheaper to buy a forklift privately?
On the sticker, sometimes. The risk is that you inherit whatever the seller did not mention. A machine with a tired mast, a failing battery or worn forks can cost more to put right than the saving, and there is nobody to go back to.
What should I check on a private sale?
Hour meter reading against the machine's apparent condition, service records, fork and chain wear, mast operation through full lift under load, hydraulic drift, tyres, and the data plate matching the mast and any attachment fitted. If you cannot assess those confidently, take someone who can.
What documentation should come with a used forklift?
The data plate must be present and legible, and the machine's specification and service history should be available. Ask for these before you commit rather than after, and confirm any workplace obligations for your site with WorkSafe Victoria.
What do I get buying from a dealer?
The machine is inspected before it leaves, you get the service history, delivery is arranged, finance and trade-in are available, and eligible stock includes a free six-month basic service. Warranty terms vary by machine and are confirmed in writing.
How much does a used forklift cost?
Price depends on capacity, lift height, mast type, fuel, hours and condition, so there is no single figure. Tell us what you lift and we will quote against current stock.
