How We Turn a Used Forklift into a Fully Refurbished Forklift

“Refurbished” at AAA means we start with a quality used forklift and restore it using a repeatable, documented process—so you avoid the uncertainty that often comes with “as-is” used equipment. If you’re comparing used vs refurbished forklifts, this is the difference-maker.

What’s included in our refurbishment process?
120-Point Inspection & PM: Fluids, filters, chassis grease, core operational checks.
Brakes & Safety Verification: Brake system inspected/adjusted; key safety items verified operational.
Hydraulic Performance: Lift/tilt/steer/aux functions tested; hoses/lines addressed as needed.
Mast & Chain System: Mast, chains, slides, carriage inspected and adjusted for smooth travel.
Electrical & Cooling Checks: Charging/starting systems evaluated; cooling system inspected for reliability.
Finish & Presentation: Industrial cleaning, paint refresh, decals—so it looks as good as it runs.

Want the fastest match? Tell us your capacity, mast height, fuel type, and any attachments (side-shift, fork positioner, clamp) and we’ll recommend the best options.

Why Refurbished Beats New for Most Buyers

New forklifts are great—if you’re optimizing for brand-new everything and the highest upfront cost. Most operations want reliable uptime, predictable ownership, and a lower total investment. Refurbished is usually the best middle-ground: stronger reliability than typical used equipment, with meaningful savings vs new.

$500 OFF is the most popular option—most buyers choose the cash savings.
Test before you buy: start with forklift rentals to confirm capacity, mast, and handling in your real environment.
Financing available: explore forklift financing and compare payments to buying new.
Support after the sale: we’re a full-service dealership—use forklift services and the service request form when you need help fast.
Long-term protection: Planned Maintenance and Never Down™ can reduce downtime risk over the life of the forklift.

If budget is the only priority, you can still browse Used / Certified Pre-Owned. But if you want the best value-to-reliability ratio, refurbished is usually the move.

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 process, safety verification, and performance checks so you can buy with more confidence.

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?

Yes. Our forklift rentals let you validate capacity, mast height, and power type in your real operating environment. Many customers rent to confirm the fit, then purchase from refurbished inventory.

What support is available after I buy a refurbished forklift?

AAA Forklifts provides ongoing support. Explore forklift repair services, submit immediate needs through our service request form, and consider long-term coverage with Never Down™ and Planned Maintenance.

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

Often, yes—especially when uptime matters. Refurbished is typically best when you want stronger reliability and reduced downtime. A certified pre-owned forklift can be great for lighter applications. Share your specs and we’ll help you choose.
