- Transport, courier and express operations

Local Support With Genuine Expertise
In freight, a machine out of action for two hours can mean missing an aircraft, and missing an aircraft means a day lost on the whole consignment. That changes the calculation on both what you buy and whether you keep backup cover. We would rather sell you a slightly better machine with a clean service history than the cheapest unit on the floor, and we will say so.
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 Tullamarine businesses a wide selection of new and used forklifts suited to different industries, so you can match the machine to your workflow and budget.

Why Tullamarine Businesses Choose Buy A Fork
Freight around Tullamarine runs to a cut-off, and a forklift that stops at four o'clock costs you the flight, not just an hour. We specify around the deadline and talk about what happens on the day the machine is off the road.
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.
Specified around your cut-off
We look at your busiest window against the deadline you actually have to hit, and we will tell you honestly whether one machine covers it or whether you need cover arranged before the first time it fails.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Forklift in Tullamarine
Do you deliver forklifts to Tullamarine?
Yes. We deliver to Tullamarine and the surrounding freight and industrial areas including Melbourne Airport, Airport West, Keilor Park, Broadmeadows and Somerton from our Somerton yard.
Is delivery to Tullamarine free?
Free local delivery applies within 10km of Somerton and Tullamarine sits near the edge of that radius, so check it with us against your exact address rather than assuming.
Which forklift suits a freight forwarding operation?
Something that turns quickly in a dock area and handles mixed load types rather than one specialised for a single pallet size. Fork length, side shift and manoeuvrability usually matter more here than maximum lift height.
How do I handle non-standard freight pallets and skids?
Air freight consignments are often oversized, uneven or lighter than they look but awkward to balance. Longer forks, a fork positioner or a side shift all help. Tell us the range of sizes you actually receive rather than the standard you wish everyone used.
What happens if the forklift breaks down before a cut-off?
That is the question worth answering before it happens. Options are a second machine, a standing hire arrangement through our sister business rentafork.com.au, or a service agreement with a defined response. Choose one deliberately rather than improvising on the day.
How quickly can you deliver a replacement?
Same-day delivery is often possible on in-stock machines at this distance, subject to availability and terms. It is still slower than having cover already arranged, which is why we raise it before the sale rather than after.
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 your dock layout, freight types and cut-off times and we will quote against current stock.
