Forklift Prices

The Forklift Center is the place to go if you're looking for the lowest forklift prices. We make it easy to find and compare prices on all makes and types of forklifts. There are many different types of machines, and the prices can vary greatly depending on the type, lift capacity and manufacturer. The most expensive type of lift truck is the rough terrain forklift, and the cheapest would be the narrow aisle forklift.

New Forklift Prices

New forklift costs have a broad range and you should expect to pay more than $15,000 - $20,000 to purchase a brand new forklift. While you can find a top of the line rough terrain forklift for more than $100,000 and a narrow aisle forklift for around $10,000, the most popular lift trucks (sit-down riders) will typically cost $25,000. Financing is available at nearly every forklift dealer. It is important to do your research and make sure that you're getting the right lift truck for your needs. Choosing a dependable manufacturer is also important and while they may be slightly more expensive upfront, they can end up costing less in the long run.

Used Forklift Prices

If you are on a budget, purchasing a used forklift is a great option. Used forklift costs are typically 40% - 50% cheaper compared to new equipment. Prices typically depend on how many hours of use the lift truck has, the type and manufacturer, the general overall condition, and whether or not a private seller or dealer is selling the forklift. While purchasing a used forklift from a private seller will often be cheaper, purchasing from a certified dealer has some benefits. Dealers often add warranties and conduct thorough inspections prior to selling used forklifts, whereas private sellers typically just sell equipment as is with no warranty.

Forklift Rental Rates

You should expect to pay around $150 per day, $500 per week and $1,500 per month for forklift rentals. Rental prices depend primarily on the lift capacity and the duration of the rental. If you are renting for a longer duration the price paid per month will be lower. Forklift rental rates can be as low as $100 per day to more than $600 per day.
