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.
