Forklift Auctions in Cleveland, OH
Cleveland's industrial corridor stretches from the Flats along the Cuyahoga River through the eastern suburbs. Steel, machining, automotive suppliers, and heavy industrial equipment form the backbone of one of Ohio's largest equipment markets.
Every plant closure and consolidation along Cleveland's industrial corridor, from the Flats along the Cuyahoga River through the eastern suburbs, leaves forklifts and material handling equipment behind at the steel operations, machining shops, and automotive suppliers that define the metro, since virtually no Cleveland facility runs without them. That steady churn from heavy industrial and automotive-supplier sites keeps a consistent supply of electric and propane forklifts moving through the Cleveland equipment market. KD Auctions markets that Cleveland-area fleet to 500,000+ industry contacts, giving local warehouses and out-of-state buyers alike a shot at units that would otherwise sell through a narrower regional channel.
