Forklift Auctions in Lexington, KY
Lexington's industrial base includes Toyota's Camry production plant (one of Toyota's largest globally), pharmaceutical manufacturing, and significant CNC machining and plastics operations.
Forklifts move through nearly every industrial facility in the Lexington area, from the material handling fleets supporting Toyota's Camry assembly plant and its supplier network to the warehousing equipment used by the region's pharmaceutical manufacturers and general industrial plants. Automotive suppliers running just-in-time production for the Camry program typically operate electric sit-down forklifts and reach trucks suited to indoor, high-cycle material flow, while general industrial and plastics operations add a mix of propane and electric units depending on facility layout. When a supplier retools, a pharmaceutical plant reconfigures a line, or a warehouse consolidates, those fleets reach auction. KD Auctions markets every Lexington-area forklift, single unit or full fleet, to 500,000+ industry contacts, putting well-maintained Toyota, Crown, or Hyster units in front of national buyers.
