Used Forklifts & Sideloaders in Akron, OH

Valley Industrial Trucks carries a rotating inventory of used forklifts and sideloaders for businesses across Northeast Ohio. Every unit is mechanically inspected by our factory-trained technicians before sale, and we carry a wide range of brands, capacities, fuel types, and mast configurations. Whether you need a budget IC counterbalanced unit for general warehouse duty, an electric stand-up rider for narrow aisles, a rough-terrain forklift for outdoor materials handling, or a specialty sideloader for long-load applications, we can match the equipment to your operation — at a fraction of the cost of new and often available in days rather than months.

Inventory turns over regularly — what's in our shop today may not be there next week. Browse our current used equipment inventory, call 888-952-7536 for pricing, or ask about a specific make, model, or capacity. We'll also let you know if something matching your spec is in our sourcing pipeline.

FAQ

Buying Used Equipment in Akron — Common Questions

What brands of used forklifts can I buy near Youngstown?

Used forklift inventory at Valley Industrial Trucks regularly includes Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Raymond, CAT, Clark, Mitsubishi, Komatsu, Bobcat®, and Clark. Because we source equipment continuously across Youngstown and Northeast Ohio, the brands and models in stock change often. Call 888-952-7536 to find out which used forklifts are available right now.

Are used forklifts inspected before they are sold?

Every used forklift sold by Valley Industrial Trucks in Youngstown, OH is mechanically inspected by our factory-trained technicians before it ships. We check the engine or drivetrain, hydraulics, mast and carriage, brakes, tires, forks, and safety systems, then either address known issues or clearly disclose condition. Written inspection summaries are available on request so you can buy with confidence.

Can I trade in my old forklift toward a used one?

Trade-ins are accepted, and Valley Industrial Trucks also buys used forklifts outright. If you are replacing, downsizing, or retiring equipment, we will assess what you have and make you an offer. Trade-in credit can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost on a used forklift. Call 888-952-7536 to start an appraisal.

Can you finance a used forklift purchase?

Financing is available on used forklifts through Valley Industrial Trucks's approved equipment lenders. Terms depend on your credit, the age of the equipment, and the amount financed, so monthly payments vary by deal. Call 888-952-7536 and our team will walk you through the application and help match you to a lender.

Do used forklifts come with a warranty?

Used forklifts from Valley Industrial Trucks are sold in as-inspected condition, and warranty terms vary by unit. Because our factory-trained technicians service every machine before it leaves our Youngstown, OH facility, you get far more assurance than buying at auction or from an unknown seller. Our service department supports you after the sale. Ask about specific coverage when you call 888-952-7536.

Is it worth buying a used forklift instead of new?

A used forklift typically costs 40-70% less than new while still delivering years of reliable service, especially if you are not running it at maximum daily duty. Used units are usually in stock or available within days, versus new-equipment lead times of two to four months. The tradeoffs are age, condition, and warranty, which Valley Industrial Trucks discusses openly before sale.

Where in Northeast Ohio can a used forklift be delivered?

Valley Industrial Trucks delivers used forklifts throughout Youngstown and all of Northeast Ohio. Whether your operation sits in Mahoning, Trumbull, Stark, or Summit County — or across the state line in Mercer or Lawrence County, PA — we can haul the unit directly to your dock from our Youngstown, OH location. Call 888-952-7536 to discuss delivery logistics and scheduling.
