// Overview
Used Forklifts in the Lehigh Valley
Lehigh Valley Pallet Racking sells quality-inspected used forklifts to warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturers across the Lehigh Valley. Every truck is inspected before it goes out, and we carry a rotating inventory from all major brands rather than a single line, so the recommendation is driven by your application instead of by what we happen to stock. Whether you need a 3,000 lb electric walkie for a tight cold-storage aisle or a heavy pneumatic-tire IC truck for an I-78 corridor container yard, we spec to your load, aisle width, floor condition, and duty cycle. Buying racking and the lift that works it from one Lehigh Valley team means one point of contact and a system designed to work together.
- Typically 40–60% below the cost of an equivalent new truck
- Inspected before sale, with the condition report shared up front
- One Lehigh Valley team for racking and the lift that works it
- Available in weeks rather than the months a new order can take

Application Review
We look at your loads, aisle widths, lift heights, floor condition, shifts per day, and environment — dry, cold, wash-down — to shortlist the right class of truck.
Match to Inventory
Used inventory turns over constantly, so we match your requirement against what is inspected and available now, and tell you plainly when nothing in stock is right for the job.
Inspection & Delivery
You see the inspection findings before you commit. We deliver anywhere in the Lehigh Valley and orient your operators on the truck.
// Fit check
Is it right for you?
// Choose it when
- You are standing up or expanding a Lehigh Valley warehouse and need lifts to match new racking
- Single-shift or lighter-duty work where a new truck is more machine than the job needs
- You need a truck in weeks and a new order would not arrive in time
- You are adding a spare to cover peaks without carrying new-equipment cost
// Consider alternatives when
- Heavy multi-shift duty where uptime is critical and a full factory warranty matters
- A very short-term or one-off need — ask us about rentals instead
- You only need occasional pallet moves — a pallet jack may be all you need
// Where we install it

Used Forklifts questions
01 Do you sell used forklifts in the Lehigh Valley?
Yes. Lehigh Valley Pallet Racking sells quality-inspected used forklifts across Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and the rest of Lehigh and Northampton Counties. We carry a rotating inventory from all major brands, and every truck is inspected before sale with the findings shared before you commit. Call (610) 854-8149 with your load, aisle width and lift height for current availability.
02 How much does a used forklift cost in the Lehigh Valley?
A quality used 5,000 lb warehouse forklift typically runs $12,000–$22,000 depending on hours, power type, mast and attachments. Heavy-capacity and specialty trucks cost more. That is usually 40–60% below an equivalent new truck. We quote firm pricing against a specific unit after a short application review rather than giving a range and adjusting later.
03 Is a used forklift a safe buy?
It is, provided it has been inspected and you see the findings. Hours matter more than age on a lift truck, and so do mast condition, hydraulic leaks, tyre wear and battery health on electrics. We inspect every truck before sale and share the condition report up front, so you are deciding on evidence rather than on appearance.
04 What forklift do I need for my warehouse?
It depends on your heaviest load, your narrowest aisle, your lift height, your floor and environment, and how many shifts you run. Electric cushion-tire trucks suit smooth indoor slabs and tight aisles; pneumatic IC trucks handle docks, yards and rough surfaces. We assess all of that on a short site visit before recommending a truck, because the aisle and the rack layout constrain the choice as much as the load does.
05 Can you match a used forklift to new racking?
That is the usual reason to buy both from one team. Aisle width, lift height and the rack configuration all constrain which trucks will work, and getting the order wrong — buying the truck first, then discovering it cannot service the top beam level — is an expensive mistake. We design the rack layout and spec the truck against each other.
