High-performance refurbished forklifts trusted by more than 200 five-star customers across Orlando, Central Florida, Raleigh & Eastern NC.

Refurbished forklifts have quickly become the preferred solution for operations that need reliable lifting power without the high capital cost of new equipment. With tighter budgets, rising warehouse demands, and longer lead times for new units, refurbished forklifts now represent the most cost-efficient and operationally sound choice for small and large fleets alike.

Used Forklift vs. AAA Refurbished Forklift: The Critical Difference

On paper, a used forklift and a refurbished forklift may look similar: same brand, capacity, and model year. In practice, the difference comes down to the work performed before it reaches your floor.

❌ Typical Used Forklift

Sold “as-is” with limited maintenance history
Often needs immediate repairs after purchase
No structured inspection or teardown
Hidden internal issues in hydraulics, steering, or brakes
Minimal or no warranty support

✅ AAA Certified Refurbished Forklift

Full 120-point inspection covering major systems
All cylinders (lift, tilt, steering, sideshift) rebuilt
Complete brake job (master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, cables)
Hydraulic and steering systems verified and corrected
90-day parts & labor warranty
Performance tested under load before delivery
