USED FORKLIFTS
Buying a pre-owned forklift may work best with your budget, but it could cost you more money in the long run. While used equipment can save you a lot in upfront costs, it can cost you more in repairs and maintenance costs because it’s used. Depending on the age and condition of the equipment, you usually get little or no warranty coverage to help cover these costs. If you’ll be using your forklift multiple hours every day, buying new is often more cost-effective. Our used forklift inventory at Mid-Ohio Forklifts in Akron, Ohio, typically includes trade-ins that are older and may have minor leaks or other problems.
Industries across the board have seen shortages and extended lead times due to COVID-19. Mid-Ohio Forklifts has been working relentlessly to provide you with the machines you need. Used equipment is constantly moving in and out of our building to where it is difficult to keep an updated listing on our website. Please contact our sales department today to see what our available inventory is.
