Sell used handling equipment from your business
Used material-handling equipment and pallet racking are quoted case by case, from the make, model, size, age and working order. Racking is quoted by component (uprights and beams) and its condition; forklifts by make, model, hours and whether they run. Clear photos and model plates do most of the work.
How do you prepare a lot of handling equipment?
- For racking: style (for example teardrop), upright height and depth, beam length, and counts of each.
- For trucks and powered gear: make, model, year, hours, power type, and whether it runs.
- Photograph the data plate on each powered unit.
Which questions decide the grade?
The value check asks these for handling equipment:
- Is everything owned outright?
- Does it work, or is the racking undamaged?
- Do you have makes, models and sizes?
Answer them for your handling equipment to see whether the line is likely resale, possible, or disposal.
How much truck space do handling equipment take?
For planning, the truckload calculator counts about 1 unit per 48 x 40 floor position: one unit per floor position; racking bundles vary widely. A 53 ft dry van holds about 26 positions loaded straight. Change the figure in the calculator to match how yours are packed.
What size should you write on the lot?
A short description is enough, for example e.g. 16 ft uprights, 8 ft beams. If you have several sizes, use one line per size.
Questions about selling handling equipment
Do you buy forklifts and racking?
They are listed under equipment and quoted case by case. Add makes, models, sizes and counts to the lot line.
Who takes the racking down?
Say in the lot whether the racking is standing or already down. The quote will say how dismantling is handled.
Is there a minimum for handling equipment?
Yes, commercial quantities. The minimum depends on the lot and the pickup location, and the quote states it. Mixing handling equipment with other lines in one lot is the easiest way past it.
