Local Support With Genuine Expertise

Everything that makes buying a forklift awkward, not seeing the machine, not knowing what condition it is really in, waiting on delivery, wondering who fixes it, is easier when the seller is on your doorstep. Walk in, look at the hour meter yourself, watch it lift, ask what it did before. Local delivery is free within 10km of the yard, which comfortably covers Somerton.

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 Somerton 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 Somerton Businesses Choose Buy A Fork

Somerton is our own street. The yard is on Cooper Street, so you can walk in during opening hours, look over the whole range in person and run any machine you are interested in before you talk price.

  • 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.

  • We are down the road

    Our workshop and yard are in Somerton, so you can inspect stock in person, get a machine delivered the same day where it is available, and reach someone who can physically look at your forklift rather than talk you through it over the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Forklift in Somerton

  • Where is Buy A Fork located in Somerton?

    Our yard and workshop are at Factory 2/802 Cooper Street, Somerton VIC 3062. Call 1300 057 880 before you head over if you want a specific machine ready to run when you arrive.

  • What are your opening hours?

    Monday to Friday 7.30am to 4.30pm, and weekends 8.30am to 1.30pm, with Sunday closed. Weekday mornings are the quietest time to look through stock properly.

  • Do I need an appointment to visit?

    No, you are welcome to come in during opening hours. Calling ahead helps if you want a particular unit pulled out, started and ready to demonstrate rather than parked in the back row.

  • Is delivery free in Somerton?

    Yes. Free local delivery applies within 10km of the yard, and Somerton is our own suburb. Same-day delivery is often possible on in-stock machines, subject to availability and terms.

  • Can you look at my existing forklift?

    Yes. Bring it in and we can assess it, whether that is for a trade-in valuation or to work out whether it is worth repairing before you decide to replace it.

  • What should I bring when I come to look at machines?

    Your heaviest load weight, your top beam or lift height, your narrowest aisle width and the clear height of your lowest doorway. With those four numbers we can rule most of the yard in or out in a few minutes.

  • 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. Come in with your requirements and we will price against exactly what is on the floor that day.
