Forklifts for Sale in the UAE

Of the 103 listed forklifts, 39 show a price, from AED 8,000 to AED 299,000, with a typical figure of AED 50,000. The remainder are priced on request. Capacity, age, hours and make drive the cost, so ask for a written quote from each supplier, with VAT and delivery stated.

Diesel forklifts handle outdoor yards and heavy loads. Gas and petrol units work indoors and outdoors with lower purchase cost, while electric forklifts are quiet and have no exhaust, suiting warehouses and food stores, but need a charger and clean flat floors. Each ad states the drive, so filter by it before visiting.

Choose a capacity above the heaviest pallet, and remember that capacity falls as the load centre and lift height increase. Read the load chart plate on the mast, not only the headline tonnage. The mast height and the lowered height also decide whether the forklift fits through doors and into containers.

Look at the mast chains and rollers, the forks for bending or cracks, the tyres, and the hydraulic cylinders for leaks. Test the brakes, steering and tilt, and read the hour meter. For electric units, check the battery condition. Ask for the service history and the ownership papers.
