New and Used Forklift Options for Knoxfield Businesses

Local Support With Genuine Expertise
Buying a machine that does not match what you already run costs more than the price difference. Different controls mean retraining, different forks mean a second set of attachments, and different brands mean a wider spares holding. If you are adding to a fleet rather than starting one, tell us the makes and capacities you already own and we will look for a match first, then a substitute.
Buy A Fork also holds replacement parts for most major forklift brands, which keeps downtime short when something fails mid-shift.
New vs Used Forklifts: Which Is Right for Your Business?
Buy A Fork offers Knoxfield 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 Knoxfield Businesses Choose Buy A Fork
Not every Knoxfield site moves standard pallets. If you handle drums, rolls, bins or anything that needs a rotator, side shift or clamp, the hydraulics matter as much as the mast. We check what a machine can actually run before recommending it.
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.
Hydraulics and attachment fit confirmed
We check how many hydraulic services a unit has, whether the valve and plumbing support the attachment you need, and what fitting it does to the rated capacity, before you commit rather than after it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Forklift in Knoxfield
Do you deliver forklifts to Knoxfield?
Yes. We deliver to Knoxfield and the surrounding Knox industrial areas including Scoresby, Rowville, Ferntree Gully, Bayswater and Wantirna South from our Somerton yard.
Is delivery to Knoxfield free?
Free local delivery applies within 10km of Somerton and Knoxfield sits outside that radius, so delivery is quoted per job and confirmed before you commit.
Can I fit an attachment to a used forklift?
Often yes, but it depends on the machine. It needs enough hydraulic services, the right valve and plumbing, and a carriage the attachment mounts to. Tell us the attachment you have in mind and we will filter stock to units that can run it.
What are hydraulic services on a forklift?
They are the hydraulic circuits available to operate functions beyond lift and tilt. Two services cover lift and tilt. A third runs a side shift. A fourth is usually needed for a clamp, rotator or fork positioner. Retrofitting an extra service is possible but adds cost.
Does an attachment reduce what the forklift can lift?
Yes, on two counts. The attachment's own weight comes off the rated capacity, and it usually pushes the load further from the mast, which derates the machine again. The data plate must reflect the specific attachment fitted.
Is a side shift worth having?
For most sites that place pallets into racking, yes. It lets the operator adjust the load sideways without repositioning the whole machine, which cuts cycle time and reduces knocks to racking uprights and product.
How much does a used forklift cost?
Price depends on capacity, lift height, mast type, fuel, hours, condition and any attachments fitted. There is no single figure. Tell us what you handle and we will quote against current stock.
