Typical process
Forklift trucks from a warehouse clearance
Individual machines rather than pallet goods: year, operating hours and inspection records shape the valuation. Loading takes place on site.
A typical process for orientation, not a customer project. Quantities, condition and timing differ from lot to lot.
Starting point
A logistics company is clearing a warehouse. Several forklift trucks and pallet trucks become available, each one different. Unlike palletised goods, every machine is an individual item with its own history, and the vehicles have to be loaded on site.
A typical lot
- Forklift trucks with different drive types
- Pallet trucks and order pickers
- Further warehouse equipment from the same site
- Individual machines instead of pallet goods
How the process runs
- 01
Enquiry per vehicle
For each truck the company gives manufacturer, type, year of manufacture, operating hours, drive type and location, with photos and inspection records if available.
- 02
Valuation and offer
A non-binding valuation follows within 24 hours. The agreed price is recorded in writing.
- 03
Payment after invoice
Payment follows by bank transfer within 48 hours of invoicing.
- 04
Loading on site
Collection is arranged within 3 working days of the agreement, with transport included. The vehicles are loaded on site, and access and time slot are agreed in advance.
What matters
- Year of manufacture, operating hours and inspection records are the key facts for each truck.
- Describe the condition honestly, including any known faults.
- Say where each vehicle stands and whether the way out is clear, for example ramp, gate or loading dock.
- For battery-powered trucks, mention the battery and charger.
