Care & Quality You Deserve
Our Process
1
The first thing we do once we receive a forklift is check and make sure the serial number matches the Bill of Sale so we can be certain we have the lift we purchased.
2
The lift is then taken to our warehouse inventory team where it undergoes a deeper and more thorough inspection.
3
Once repairs are complete and fluids and filters are replaced, the forklift receives a fresh paint job based on its Condition tier. If needed, we also apply new decals, manufacturer stickers, and OSHA kits.
4
After completing all prior steps, our Equipment Matchmaker team works with the shop to add any requested accessories, paint, or attachments before shipment.
5
The lift is then taken to our warehouse inventory team where it undergoes a deeper and more thorough inspection. During this process, both major, and minor repairs are scheduled with our in-house mechanics, and any parts requiring replacement or found to be missing are ordered. All fluids and filters are swapped out at this stage as well.
6
Once the customer receives the video, verifies everything is in order, and payment is received, the forklift is loaded into one of our freight trucks and sent off to its new home!

The first thing we do once we receive a forklift is check and make sure the serial number matches the Bill of Sale so we can be certain we have the lift we purchased. We make note of important features and measurements such as tire sizes as well as the overall Condition of the forklift.
The lift is then taken to our warehouse inventory team where it undergoes a deeper and more thorough inspection.
During this process, both major, and minor repairs are scheduled with our in-house mechanics, and any parts requiring replacement or found to be missing are ordered. All fluids and filters are swapped out at this stage as well.
After all repairs have finished and fluids and filters have been replaced, the forklift gets a new paint job.
Typically, the paint job will depend on the condition tier of the forklift and which level we intend to sell it at. If the forklift needs it, we also apply fresh decals, manufacturer stickers, and OSHA Kits.
Once our Equipment Matchmaker team has found a new home for the forklift – and it has undergone all previous steps in Our Process – the Matchmaker team will approach our shop staff about accessories, custom paint jobs, and any forklift attachments requested by the customer that need to be included before shipment.
The forklift is then accessorized accordingly, trained for its new position (by adding the requested attachments), and awaits the final stages of our process.
