Forklift Auctions in Savannah, GA
Savannah hosts the East Coast's largest container port and Hyundai's new electric vehicle manufacturing plant: making it one of the fastest-growing industrial cities in the Southeast.
As the East Coast's largest container port, Savannah runs an enormous volume of warehousing, drayage, and distribution equipment, forklifts included, in near-constant rotation across its port-adjacent logistics parks. When a distribution center near the port consolidates or a warehouse tied to the Hyundai EV supply build-out changes hands, the electric sit-down forklifts, reach trucks, and order pickers that come to auction draw a buyer pool that already knows this market moves equipment in volume. KD Auctions markets that equipment nationally, from Toyota and Hyster/Yale fleets down to individual reach trucks, rather than only to the handful of local buyers a private sale would reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What forklifts come up most often at auction in the Savannah area?
Given Savannah's role as the East Coast's largest container port, electric sit-down forklifts and reach trucks from busy distribution centers are common, alongside propane counterbalance units from manufacturing and warehousing operations tied to the growing Hyundai EV supply chain. Toyota, Crown, and Hyster/Yale units see the strongest bidding, and KD Auctions markets each fleet to 500,000+ industry contacts, well beyond the regional logistics buyers.
Can KD Auctions sell a single forklift fleet from a Savannah warehouse consolidation?
Yes, whether it's a handful of units or a complete port-area fleet, KD Auctions handles consignment into an upcoming auction. Commission is tailored to the engagement, quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket. Removal is typically completed within the standard 7 to 14 day window after the sale.
