The line

Why we quote Toyota

If you are buying one used forklift and have no strong reason to prefer another make, Toyota is usually the right default. It holds its resale value well. That cuts both ways. You pay more up front for a used Toyota than for a comparable Hyster or Komatsu. You also get more back when you sell it. For an operation that replaces equipment every few years, that resale floor is worth real money.

The practical argument is parts. Toyota is the most common forklift in North American warehouses. So parts are easy to get, and independent service knowledge is everywhere. Many Baltimore-area buyers run mixed fleets, bought one truck at a time. For them, parts matter more than a spec-sheet edge. A truck you can get parts for on Tuesday beats a slightly better one you wait a week on.

Toyota also introduced the System of Active Stability (SAS). SAS cuts engine power and locks the rear axle when it senses the truck is close to tipping. On a used truck, check for it rather than assume it is there. It appears on most, but not all, models and years. We confirm SAS is present and working on any Toyota we recondition. We also tell you when a truck does not have it.

Before you buy

Buying a used Toyota forklift: what to check

These checks separate a good used truck from an expensive one. You can make every one of them before you commit.

  1. 1

    Expect to pay more, and get more back

    Used Toyotas cost more than comparable makes. That is not a markup. It is the resale market pricing in reliability and parts support. If you plan to sell the truck later, you usually get the premium back.

  2. 2

    Verify System of Active Stability

    SAS is on most Toyota models, but not all years and configurations. Confirm it rather than assume it. We tell you either way on any unit we sell.

  3. 3

    Hour meter honesty

    Toyota trucks often run past 10,000 hours in good health, so a high meter is not automatically a problem. Before we judge a truck by its hours, we check mast chain stretch, deck and mast wear, and service history.

  4. 4

    Check the mast for the building

    A Toyota spec'd for a modern distribution center may have a three-stage mast. That mast may not clear an older brick warehouse in the city. We measure your clear height before quoting, not after delivery.

Questions

Toyota questions

1

Where can I buy a used Toyota forklift in the Baltimore area?

Baltimore Forklifts sources and sells reconditioned Toyota forklifts across the Baltimore area. That includes Baltimore City, Glen Burnie, Columbia, Owings Mills, Towson and Westminster. We do not carry Toyota new, but our used inventory covers every major manufacturer. Call (410) 498-6008 for what is available now.

2

Are used Toyota forklifts worth the higher price?

Yes, a used Toyota forklift is usually worth the higher price. Toyota holds its resale value well. So you get much of the premium back when you sell. Toyota also has the best parts supply and independent service knowledge in the industry. In day-to-day work, that matters more than most spec-sheet differences.

3

How many hours is too many on a used Toyota forklift?

No single hour count is too many on a used Toyota, and hours alone are a poor guide. Toyota trucks often run well past 10,000 hours when they are maintained and worked on decent floors. Where the truck worked matters more. A 5,000-hour truck from a dirty site on a broken slab can be worse than a 10,000-hour one from a clean distribution building. We judge on mast chain stretch, mast and deck wear, and service history.

4

Do you sell used Toyota forklifts with a warranty?

Ask us about warranty options on used trucks. Terms depend on the unit. We inspect and service every unit before delivery. We also disclose the hour meter reading and any available service history on every truck we sell, whatever the make.
