If you are sourcing a used forklift on a set budget, you want a credible, transparent route to the machine you need without paying full main-dealer pricing. Enviro Stock lists used forklift trucks cleared directly from UK businesses, covering counterbalance, electric, diesel, LPG and reach trucks for warehouse, logistics, manufacturing and construction buyers.

If you run a warehouse, a logistics operation, a manufacturing site or a construction business, a forklift is a working asset you cannot afford to get wrong. Sourcing from clearance stock is a practical way to replace or expand a fleet at reduced cost, as long as you can assess the machine properly before you commit. That is the buyer this category serves first: an operational buyer who needs reliable kit but is sourcing outside main-dealer pricing.
Clearance forklifts are machines cleared by UK businesses that are replacing their fleet, downsizing, closing a site or restructuring. They are real working equipment from identifiable commercial origins, so you are not buying speculative imports or auction lots bought blind. Our stock comes directly from those businesses, listed with structured condition grading so you can weigh up each machine before you buy. That puts clearance sourcing between the dealer route and the auction route: lower cost than a prepared dealer machine, and more transparent than an as-is auction lot.
This category covers counterbalance forklifts, electric forklifts, diesel forklifts, LPG and gas forklifts, and reach trucks. Trade and refurbishment buyers who source through clearance channels are welcome here too, alongside operational buyers upgrading or expanding a fleet. Construction and site buyers can also browse surplus tools and hardware. For plant and machinery alongside forklifts, browse the wider industrial assets category. For more on how each machine is assessed and listed, see how we grade stock.
Stock changes as lots clear, so treat this as what you can expect to find rather than a fixed live inventory. Not every type will be available at any given time, so browse the current listings or get in touch to ask about a specific machine.

When you buy a used forklift outside a main dealer, verify the machine before it goes into service. Ask for the most recent LOLER thorough examination report, review the operating hours against the service history, ask for a mast, hydraulics and tyre inspection, and check battery condition on electric models. These checks protect you from unbudgeted cost.
Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations, forklifts used at work must undergo a LOLER thorough examination by a competent person at least every 12 months, or every six months where the truck is used to lift people. This is a distinct legal requirement, and it is not the same as a scheduled service. When buying used, ask for the most recent report.
Operating hours indicate wear on the engine, hydraulics and mast. As a general guide, a counterbalance forklift at 10,000 to 12,000 hours is approaching high-usage territory, though maintenance history matters more than raw hours. High hours with a full service record can point to a more reliable machine than low hours with no history, so ask to see the service record alongside the hour meter reading.
The category covers counterbalance forklifts in electric, diesel and LPG or gas. Because stock is clearance-sourced, availability changes as lots clear. Browse the current listings to see what is in stock today, or get in touch about a specific requirement.
Not automatically. Documentation varies by lot, so we tell you the thorough examination status where we have it rather than claiming compliance we cannot confirm. If a machine does not carry a current LOLER thorough examination, arrange one through a competent person before putting it into service.
Yes. We can arrange delivery to you rather than requiring you to organise your own transport or collect in person, which makes buying more straightforward than collection-only clearance routes. Delivery logistics depend on the machine and the location, so get in touch to discuss the specifics for the truck you are interested in.
Check the LOLER thorough examination status, the operating hours against the service history, and the condition of the mast, hydraulics and tyres. On electric models, check the battery age and remaining life, as a worn battery can add several thousand pounds.
Forklifts are typically sold as individual units rather than lots, so you can buy a single machine to suit your requirement.
Electric models suit indoor and emission-sensitive environments, while diesel forklifts are generally unsuitable for enclosed indoor use and are better suited to outdoor yards and heavy-duty work. LPG offers a flexible middle ground across mixed environments, though it still needs adequate ventilation for indoor use. Browse the category listings or get in touch with your site requirements and we can point you to the right power type.
If you have forklifts or industrial equipment to sell, our sister business Enviro Clear buys stock directly from UK businesses. Visit enviro-clear.co.uk to find out more.
