Forklift Auctions in Allentown, PA
Allentown anchors Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley: a major manufacturing corridor with food processing, air products, healthcare manufacturing, and general industrial operations.
Forklifts are present at essentially every Allentown facility that reaches auction, whether it is a food and beverage plant, a healthcare manufacturing operation, or a general industrial shop, because material handling is a constant across the Lehigh Valley's manufacturing base. Electric sit down forklifts, propane counterbalance units, reach trucks, and order pickers come to auction from plant closures, warehouse consolidations, and fleet upgrades where operators replace aging units rather than run them past their useful life. Because forklifts have the broadest active buyer pool of any equipment category, KD Auctions typically sees strong bidding on Allentown forklift lots from warehouses, distribution operations, and manufacturers across the region and well beyond it, reaching that demand through 500,000+ industry contacts rather than a single local buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What forklift brands and types sell best out of an Allentown fleet?
Toyota, Crown, and Hyster/Yale units consistently draw the strongest bidding due to their reliability reputation and parts availability, and electric models with recently replaced batteries command a meaningful premium over comparable units running aged original batteries, since a replacement battery represents a large share of a used electric forklift's value. Attachments like side shifts and clamps are inventoried and sold with the unit, adding value. A full fleet from a Lehigh Valley warehouse or plant attracts dealer buyers who bid aggressively across multiple units.
How is a forklift fleet from an Allentown warehouse or plant closure removed after the sale?
Most forklifts are simply driven onto a flatbed by the buyer or a transport company they arrange, and KD Auctions can provide transport referrals if needed. Removal is typically completed within the standard 1 to 2 week window built into the auction terms. Fleet sales are coordinated so multiple buyers can schedule pickup without conflicts.
