How We Turn a Used Forklift into a Refurbished Forklift

“Fully refurbished” at AAA means we begin with a quality used forklift and restore it with a proven process that brings it back to dependable, work-ready condition — without the uncertainty that comes with buying used equipment as-is. If you’re comparing used vs refurbished forklifts in Florida or North Carolina, here’s the process that sets our units apart.

What’s included in our full refurbishment?
120-Point Inspection & Preventive Maintenance: Fluids, filters, chassis grease — ensuring your “used” forklift leaves as a fully refurbished unit.
Tune-Up Components: Spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires (as applicable) for smoother starts and consistent performance.
Brake System Inspection: Adjusted and components replaced, if needed, to ensure safe stopping power.
Hydraulic System Check: Hoses, lines, pumps, and lift performance tested — repaired or rebuilt if necessary for reliability.
Safety Features Verified: Lights, seat belts, horn, and back-up alarm confirmed operational — no surprises like with many used forklifts.
Electrical & Cooling Systems Tested: Starter, alternator, battery, and cooling components inspected; replaced if needed to prevent downtime.
Mast & Fork Assembly Check: Mast, chains, slides adjusted; carriage & forks inspected for wear or damage.
Leak & Control System Review: Leaks corrected where required and linkages adjusted for smooth, precise operation.
Cosmetic Restoration: Industrial cleaning, paint refresh, new decals, and finishing details so it looks as good as it performs.

Need a specific configuration? Tell us your capacity, mast height, fork length, and attachments (side-shift, fork positioner, clamps), and we’ll match you with the right refurbished or used forklift option.

Why Choose Refurbished Instead of Just Used

Our refurbished forklifts are built for businesses that want used forklift pricing, but need like-new reliability and a team that stands behind the unit. As a full-service forklift dealership, we help customers compare inventory, costs, and timelines— including buyers evaluating total ownership cost and long-term value.

Refurbished Forklift FAQ
Click a question to expand the answer.
What’s the difference between a used forklift and a refurbished forklift?

A used forklift is often sold “as-is” or lightly inspected, while a refurbished forklift goes through a defined reconditioning process designed to improve reliability and reduce downtime. Our refurbished units complete a 120-point inspection, preventive maintenance, safety verification, and performance checks so you can buy with more confidence than a typical used equipment purchase.

Do refurbished forklifts cost less than new forklifts?

Yes—refurbished forklifts typically cost less than new forklifts while offering stronger reliability than many “as-is” used options. If you want predictable costs, explore forklift financing options and compare monthly payments to buying new.

Can I rent a forklift before purchasing a refurbished unit?

Absolutely. Our forklift rentals let you validate capacity, mast height, and power type in your real operating environment. Many customers use rentals to confirm the right fit, then purchase from refurbished inventory once they’re confident it matches their workflow.

What support is available after I buy a refurbished forklift?

AAA Forklifts is more than a forklift dealership—we provide ongoing support. Explore our forklift repair service, submit immediate needs through our service request form, and consider long-term coverage with Never Down™ and Planned Maintenance.

Is a refurbished forklift a better fit than certified pre-owned?

It depends on usage and budget. Refurbished is usually best when you want the strongest reliability and reduced downtime, while a certified pre-owned forklift can be great for lighter applications. Tell us your load, hours, and environment and we’ll help you choose.
