FORKLIFTS FOR SALE, NEW AND SECOND HAND
Buying a forklift is a decision most operations make every eight or ten years, which means almost nobody doing it feels expert at it. The questions are always the same: how much machine do we actually need, and is used a saving or a liability?
On the first, more capacity than the job requires costs you in purchase price, fuel and manoeuvring room. Less than the job requires costs you in a machine that works at its limit and wears accordingly. Tell us the heaviest load, the highest lift and the surface it runs on, and we’ll size it properly rather than sell you up.
On the second — a used forklift is only a risk when you don’t know its history. Retrolex has been in materials handling for over 70 years, and every second hand unit we sell is inspected, serviced and prepared before it goes out, then backed by a six-month warranty on parts and labour. That’s the same warranty we put behind a new machine.

FAQ
Are your used forklifts sold with a warranty?
Warranty coverage varies depending on the specific make, model and unit. Every second-hand forklift is thoroughly inspected and serviced before sale to ensure it meets our quality standards.
What used forklift brands do you stock?
Mainly used Toyota, Mitsubishi, TCM and Nissan forklifts — the Japanese brands built for the kind of work South African sites demand and the easiest to keep parts for. Availability changes weekly, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what’s on the floor.
How do I know what capacity forklift I need?
Start with the heaviest load you’ll lift, the highest you’ll need to lift it, and the surface it runs on. Load centre matters too — a wide or long load shifts the effective weight forward and reduces what the machine can safely carry. Send us those details and we’ll size it for you.
Should I buy new, buy used, or rent?
Used suits most operations running standard warehouse or yard work — the saving is real and the warranty covers the risk. New makes sense for high-hour, multi-shift operations where reliability and residual value justify the premium. Renting is usually better for seasonal peaks or work under a year. Tell us the application and we’ll give you an honest view.
Do you deliver, and what happens after the sale?
We deliver throughout Gauteng from Edenvale — Johannesburg, the East Rand, Kempton Park, Germiston, Boksburg, Midrand and Sandton. After the sale we handle servicing, parts and 24/7 breakdown support with a four-hour response target, so the machine stays supported by the people who sold it.
