Serving Nunawading's Key Sectors
Nunawading's commercial strip is one of the east's main bulky goods and showroom precincts, with warehousing attached to most of it. Material handling here supports retail turnover rather than production.
- Bulky goods, furniture and homeware retail
- Whitegoods, electrical and appliance distribution
- Warehousing, wholesale and dispatch
- Trade supply and building materials
- Light manufacturing and assembly
Local Support With Genuine Expertise
Most Nunawading stock is light for its size, and that is a specification problem rather than an easy one. Wide or tall items push the load centre forward, which reduces safe capacity well below the number on the data plate. Extended forks, fork positioners or a slightly larger machine often solve it, but only if we know the dimensions. Send the biggest item you handle and we will work back from that.
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 Nunawading businesses a wide selection of new and used forklifts suited to different industries, so you can match the machine to your workflow and budget.

- Proven brands recognised for reliability
- Minimum 6-month warranty on pre-owned stock
Why Nunawading Businesses Choose Buy A Fork
A lot of Nunawading's industrial stock is trade showrooms and bulky goods sites where the forklift works close to customers and car parks, not behind a fence. Every machine gets the standard mechanical inspection, and the safety features that matter around foot traffic get checked and listed.
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.
Visibility and warning devices checked
Lights, horn, reversing alarm, mirrors, seatbelt and overhead guard are all inspected and their condition reported, which matters on sites where the machine operates near customers and shared car parks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Forklift in Nunawading
Do you deliver forklifts to Nunawading?
Yes. We deliver to Nunawading and the surrounding Whitehorse areas including Blackburn, Mitcham, Forest Hill, Vermont and Box Hill from our Somerton yard.
Is delivery to Nunawading free?
Free local delivery applies within 10km of Somerton and Nunawading sits outside that radius, so delivery is quoted per job and confirmed before you commit.
Can I operate a forklift where customers are present?
Only with proper separation between the machine and people on foot, which usually means physical barriers, exclusion times or a spotter. Your obligations sit under Victorian workplace health and safety law, so check the requirements with WorkSafe Victoria and build the traffic management plan around them.
Which safety features should I check on a used forklift?
Overhead guard and load backrest condition, seatbelt function, horn, working lights, reversing alarm and mirrors, plus clear visibility through the mast. Ask for these to be confirmed individually rather than accepting a general roadworthy assurance.
Can a forklift unload a truck without a loading dock?
Yes, at ground level from the side or rear of a flatbed or curtain-sider, provided you have room to manoeuvre and a firm level surface. Container work from a truck bed needs the right mast and enough clearance, so tell us the vehicles you receive.
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 the site and the loads and we will quote against machines currently in stock.
Can I inspect a forklift before buying?
Yes, at the Somerton yard, and Nunawading is a reasonable run. Check the hour meter, mast, chains, tyres and forks in person, and ask for the service history on the specific unit.
