Best selection of used forklifts at Ritchie Bros.
Forklifts are essential across multiple industries, from warehouse logistics to heavy construction. Whether you need to move pallets in a distribution center, load shipping containers at a port, or handle materials in rough outdoor environments, having the right forklift for the job is critical. At our forklift auctions, you’ll find a wide range of models suited for various applications, giving you access to well-maintained, high-quality equipment at competitive prices.
Different industries require different forklift specifications. In warehouse environments, electric forklifts dominate for their efficiency and zero-emission operation. In contrast, heavy-duty pneumatic tire forklifts with diesel or propane engines thrive in outdoor settings, tackling rough terrain and heavy loads. Understanding the type of forklift that fits your operation ensures long-term productivity and cost-effectiveness.
Types of forklifts, lift capacity & height
When browsing for forklift with us, you’ll consider both the type and what lifting capabilities you need. Here’s a breakdown of the most common forklift types and their ideal applications:Cushion Tire Forklifts
Designed for smooth indoor surfaces such as warehouses and manufacturing plants. These forklifts sit lower to the ground, offering enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces.
Pneumatic Tire Forklifts
Built for outdoor use, these forklifts come with either air-filled or solid rubber tires that provide better traction on uneven surfaces like gravel or asphalt. Commonly found in construction sites, shipping yards, and lumber mills.
Electric Forklifts
Preferred in warehouses and distribution centers where emissions and noise levels must be minimized. Battery-powered and cost-effective, they offer lower long-term operating costs but require downtime for recharging.
Rough Terrain Forklifts
Engineered for rugged job sites, these forklifts have oversized pneumatic tires and higher ground clearance, making them ideal for construction and agricultural applications.
Truck-Mounted Forklifts (Moffett Forklifts)
These compact, portable forklifts attach to the back of trucks, allowing for on-the-go material handling. Commonly used in the transportation and logistics industries, they provide quick unloading capabilities for deliveries in areas without traditional loading docks.
Lift capacity & height considerations
Beyond forklift type, it’s crucial to assess lift capacity and height. Standard warehouse forklifts typically handle loads between 3,000 to 5,000 lbs, while heavy-duty models can support up to 50,000 lbs or more for industrial applications. The mast height also plays a role, especially in environments where forklifts need to navigate shelving systems or load/unload trailers. Whether you require a standard 10-ft mast or a high-reach lift extending beyond 30 ft, choosing the right specs ensures seamless operations.Power Source & Fuel Type
Selecting the right power source impacts operational costs, environmental compliance, and performance. Here’s what to consider when choosing between electric, propane, and diesel forklifts.
Electric Forklifts
Electric forklifts are the preferred choice for indoor warehouse operations, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers due to their zero emissions and quiet operation. Studies show that electric forklifts can reduce overall operational costs by up to 75% compared to internal combustion forklifts, thanks to fewer moving parts and lower maintenance needs.
However, they require a dedicated charging station, and lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries need time to recharge, which can impact productivity in multi-shift environments. Despite this, advances in battery technology have made rapid charging and battery swapping more common in high-demand industries.
LPG (Propane) Forklifts
LPG forklifts offer a balance between power and flexibility, making them popular in industries that require both indoor and outdoor operations, such as retail warehouses, construction supply yards, and freight terminals. They provide consistent power output, unlike electric models that can experience power drops as the battery depletes.
One of the key advantages of propane forklifts is quick refuelling - a standard propane tank swap takes only minutes, allowing for continuous use without extended downtime. However, propane emissions are higher than electric alternatives, and regulatory compliance should be considered for enclosed environments.
Diesel Forklifts
Diesel forklifts are built for heavy-duty applications, often found in construction, lumber yards, and industrial operations requiring high lifting capacities. With higher torque output, diesel forklifts excel in outdoor environments and rough terrain, making them ideal for moving heavy loads over long distances.
Although diesel-powered forklifts offer longer operational hours per tank compared to electric and LPG models, they come with higher emissions and noise levels, limiting their use in enclosed spaces. Additionally, fuel costs and maintenance for diesel engines tend to be higher, making them more suitable for operations where durability and raw power outweigh operational expenses.
Your choice of power source depends on your operational setting, fuel availability, long-term cost considerations, and regulatory compliance. Companies prioritizing eco-friendly solutions often favour electric forklifts, while high-use, multi-shift operations may opt for propane or diesel models to maximize uptime and efficiency.
