Are Your Pre-Owned Forklifts Safe and Reliable?
Yes. Each pre-owned forklift at Piedmont passes a multi-point inspection on hydraulics, mast, engine, and electrical systems before it hits our sales lot. Also, we follow OSHA powered industrial truck standards for every inspection. Plus, each unit comes with full maintenance records. So your pre-owned buy is safe, compliant, and reliable from day one.
What Does Our Forklift Sales Process Include?
Forklift Sales at Piedmont cover every step from fit assessment to final delivery. First, we meet with you to learn your load type, aisle width, and duty cycle. Next, we recommend two or three units that fit the job at different price points. Then we walk through the maintenance records, spec sheets, and financing options. So you buy with full information, not a sales script.
Fit assessment and spec matching.
First, our team walks your site, measures your aisles, and reviews your typical loads. Also, we factor in lift height, tire type, and attachments before we quote anything.
New and pre-owned inventory.
Next, we carry electric, propane, gas, and diesel lift trucks across every major brand. Plus, our pre-owned stock gets refreshed weekly as new trades come in.
Multi-point inspection.
Then every pre-owned unit goes through a detailed inspection by factory-trained techs. In fact, we flag and fix every issue before a machine hits our sales lot.
Delivery and follow-up.
Finally, we deliver to your site on your schedule and back the sale with the same fair-rate service and repair support you get from our shop.
How Do I Know What Forklift Capacity I Need?
Pick a forklift with capacity at least 10 to 20 percent above your heaviest load—including any attachments you plan to use. First, measure your heaviest typical load. Next, add 15 percent for safety margin. Plus, our team at Piedmont walks you through the math before you buy. So you never end up with a lift that is too small, too big, or wrong for the job.
Why Honest Forklift Sales Matter for Your Business
A wrong forklift purchase costs more than cash. In fact, an undersized unit fails under real load, while an oversized one wastes fuel, rack space, and operator time. Also, a unit with unknown maintenance history can fail inside six months and wipe out any "savings." So honest forklift sales pay off year after year—not just on day one.
- Right-sized fit beats price-first buys. For example, a forklift sized to your load, your aisle, and your duty cycle runs longer and costs less per hour than a cheaper unit that fights the work.
- Inspected machines beat salvage risk. In contrast, many low-price dealers skip real inspection and sell "as-is." But every pre-owned Piedmont forklift passes our multi-point check first.
- Owner contact beats commission pressure. Because Ada and Bill Wallace run sales personally, no one earns commission for pushing a bigger machine than you need. Plus, you get the same honest answers on day one and day 100.
Types of Forklifts We Sell
Forklift Sales at Piedmont cover every major class and fuel type used in Upstate SC industry. In fact, we stock five core categories from our Spartanburg, SC lot.
- Electric forklifts. First, electric models are clean, quiet, and built for indoor use. Also, 36V and 48V options fit warehouses, retail, and food facilities where emissions matter.
- Propane forklifts. Next, propane lifts bring strong outdoor performance with indoor flexibility. Plus, they suit yards, loading docks, and mixed-use sites.
- Gas and diesel forklifts. Also, our diesel and gas lifts handle heavy outdoor loads in construction, building supply, and rough-terrain work.
- Narrow aisle forklifts and reach trucks. Then warehouses with tight aisles use our narrow aisle models and reach trucks for high-density storage.
- Pallet jacks and stackers. Finally, for smaller-scale moves, we stock pallet jacks and electric stackers ideal for retail stockrooms and small warehouses.
Do You Offer New or Pre-Owned Forklifts?
Both. First, Piedmont Forklifts carries new lift trucks for clients who need the latest technology and full factory warranties. Next, we stock inspected pre-owned units for buyers focused on value and fast delivery. Also, most of our pre-owned stock costs 30 to 60 percent less than new. So your budget and your needs drive the choice.
Can I Finance a Forklift Through Piedmont?
Yes. Piedmont Forklifts offers flexible financing options to help you acquire equipment without locking up capital. First, we work with trusted lenders who understand material handling. Next, our team walks you through plan options, monthly costs, and terms. So small shops and large fleets both gain access to the right lift at the right price.

Choosing the Right Forklift Sales Partner
Not every dealer runs on honest sales. When you weigh forklift sales, look for four proofs that set a real equipment partner apart from a commission shop.
- Inspected equipment. First, Piedmont runs a multi-point inspection on every pre-owned unit. In contrast, many low-price dealers sell "as-is" with no real checks behind the quote.
- Fit-focused spec matching. Next, we match the forklift to your load, aisle, and duty cycle—not to our inventory pressure. Plus, we recommend the smallest unit that handles your heaviest load plus a safety margin.
- Flexible financing. Because Piedmont partners with lenders who know material handling, you get plans built for real cash flow. Also, our team walks you through every term.
- Direct owner access. Finally, you deal with Ada or Bill Wallace directly. When a sale needs a same-day decision, the owners answer—no voicemail, no forwarding, no delay.
